The Value of Participating on Elder Abuse Multidisciplinary Teams

Elder abuse multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are expanding across the country and yet not all communities are familiar with them. This session begins with a brief introduction to multidisciplinary teams (MDTs), followed by a presentation on the nature and functioning of tribal protection teams and jurisdictional challenges. Attendees then will learn from an experienced team about the value of participating on an MDT. A live demonstration will be provided by the Montgomery County Elder Abuse Multidisciplinary Team showing how MDTs function and the benefit to law enforcement investigations.
