Financial exploitation of older adults is evolving fast. Scammers are now using artificial intelligence (AI) to clone voices, spoof family members, and stage realistic fraud schemes. This webinar will highlight recent scam trends and explore how multidisciplinary teams (MDT) can best respond to these crimes in a coordinated, thoughtful manner while working with older adults, utilizing trauma-informed and person-centered best practices. It will also cover how this work can be time consuming and emotionally and morally draining, and how to work through these challenges with your team when they occur.

The emergence and evolution of technology enable youth and adults to connect, research new topics, build social networks, and increase their communication skills. But although technology offers many positive opportunities, abusers can also exploit it to cause harm. Perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) may use technology as an additional method of manipulation, coercion, intimidation, and abuse. 

Do you have questions about how to identify the ways that abusers target victims of IPV through technology? Do you want to learn the foundational elements of an effective safety plan for survivors of IPV? If so, then please join us for this interactive Expert Q&A webinar!  

This session is ideal for professionals working in victim services, including social workers, counselors, law enforcement officers, and prosecutors.
