San Diego State University is a leader in the fight to recognize, prevent and rectify elder abuse in the United States.
The university's efforts were recently recognized by the Huguette Clark Family Fund for Protection of Elders, when the organization made its first pair of grants to combat the growing national problem of elder abuse. The SDSU Research Foundation received a grant, along with the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging.
A grant — totaling $26,000 — was awarded to SDSU to develop financial training for Adult Protective Services (APS) workers. The program will make online courses on financial exploitation and undue influence accessible to APS workers.
"Financial abuse is complex type of crime," said Lori Delagrammatikas, program manager for SDSU's Multidisciplinary Adult Services Training for Evaluation and Results program.
