APS_FY27 Pathways Program

To develop a program within the Adult Protective Services provider network of mentoring that includes an internship program for college students to develop their skillset and knowledge for potential permanent employment with their agency after college graduation. This intervention program addresses the consistent staffing issues experienced within the network agencies, and will aid in development of programs to prevent elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including adult protective services programs. Through this program, ACL hopes to demonstrate how existing research can be used to craft new, useful programs to address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation and improve and enhance adult protective services programming.
