Senior$afe
Senior$afe is a training initiative developed in an effort to increase identification and reporting of suspected cases of elder financial exploitation specifically by financial institutions.
If you are interested in learning more about the program, please call (207) 624-8564.
RADAR
The Council’s free RADAR card is now available for distribution! The RADAR card was created by members of law enforcement for members of law enforcement. The information provided on the RADAR card was carefully selected specifically to help support the important work of law enforcement throughout the state. The intention is that every law enforcement officer in Maine will have a copy of the RADAR card to help them in their day-to-day work. The RADAR card is meant to accompany the information provided in the elder abuse training conducted during the 2014 Chief’s Road Show and the 2014 MCJA mandatory training on elder abuse and financial exploitation found on the JPMA website.
The RADAR card was created through the collaborative efforts of the Maine State Police, the Maine Sheriff’s Association, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services Office of Aging and Disability Services and Adult Protective Services, the Maine Office of Securities, the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Legal Services for Maine Elders, the Maine Association of Area Agencies on Aging, and with the support of all MCEAP members. These partners developed the RADAR card in an effort to increase identification of elder abuse and financial exploitation and raise awareness of the various resources available to help older adults in Maine.
If you would like to request copies of the RADAR card, please contact Jill Randall at jrandall@mainelse.org.
EATF/Triad Startup Guide
To support elder abuse prevention work at the local level, the Council developed a toolkit for starting a new Elder Abuse Task Force (EATF) in your area. Access the startup guide for more information about EATFs and Triads.
Presentation and Speaker's Bureau
To raise awareness of the serious problem of elder abuse and the many valuable resources that are available in Maine to help those who are affected by it, the Council developed this Elder Abuse: A Community Problem with Community Solutions presentation.
MCEAP’s goal for this presentation is to provide an overview of the issue of elder abuse including statistics, general information about the different types of elder abuse, and where to go for help. This presentation does not provide profession-specific content, and it does not include information about legal reporting mandates.
