This is an 18-minute edition of a more comprehensive multidisciplinary training intended to help financial professionals learn how to recognize, prevent and report financial exploitation of vulnerable seniors. The training also covers the roles of several key agencies involved in the protection of vulnerable adults, and important state and federal laws that relate to this topic. The focus is on seniors aged 60 and older, but much of the content is also applicable to vulnerable adults aged 18-59.
