“This webinar explores Adult Protective Services (APS) best practices for identifying, assessing, and responding to hoarding situations among older adults and adults with disabilities. Participants will learn how to balance safety concerns with respect for autonomy, apply harm reduction strategies, and engage in collaborative, trauma-informed interventions.”
