Mental Health/APS Collaborations Wanted

If you are part of a collaboration involving Adult Protective Services and a mental health service, the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA) wants to hear from you by June 16, 2003.

As part of its work under the National Center on Elder Abuse, NCPEA is conducting a research study of interfaces between mental health services and APS in responding to elder and dependent adult abuse. Information about the survey can be found at the NCPEA website, www.preventelderabuse.org/. (Go to the bottom of the "What's New" column on the home page.)

For further information, contact Pamela B. Teaster, Ph.D., pteaster@uky.edu or 859-257-1450, ext. 80196.
