JASA Elder Justice Training Institute 2026 - 2027
JASA is recognized as a leading provider of professional education for professionals who work with elder abuse survivors.
Thousands of older adults in New York are abused, neglected, and exploited yearly, and the number is growing. JASA’s Elder Justice Training Institute offers five interdisciplinary workshops that improve understanding and response to the various forms of elder abuse. The Institute educates social service, health, legal, and financial professionals, and the public.
These virtual sessions, designed for social work and legal professionals, will offer training on evidence-based practices to support vulnerable older adults. These trainings will include enhanced safety planning, multidisciplinary approaches to case assessment, strategies to secure appropriate community and city government resources, and interventions to resolve the abuse.
There is a $60 fee to participate for each session.
