Elder Justice Summit
Partnering to Prevent and Respond to Abuse and Neglect of Elder and Dependent Adults
Attend the 2023 Elder Justice Summit on Wednesday September 20th from 8:30-4:30pm at the Doubletree Hotel in Rohnert Park, CA (Sonoma County). This Summit brings together leaders from a variety of disciplines to discuss proactive approaches to elder justice as well as the challenges facing dependent adults or those living with different abilities. Sessions will promote forward-thinking solutions to the challenges around aging and inspire participants to look to the future for innovative solutions.
The Adult and Aging Departments of Marin, Napa and Sonoma County are providing this forum to look to the future of elder justice in the North Bay and across our state. Topic tracks include gerontology, financial crimes, public policy and equity/inclusion. Speakers come from the medical field, legal programs, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, public policy leaders, local district attorneys, the Department of Justice, the CA Welfare Directors Association and a 24-hour crisis intervention team. We’ll have 16 different breakout session and a keynote speaker with breakfast and lunch included. Tabling and exhibitor opportunities are available.
The content of this Summit goes beyond talking about our demographic challenges, abuse prevention and response, or reiterating the challenges of serving the older adult and disabled communities. Rather, the content has been curated to envision future efforts and discuss on a systemic level what can be possible when it comes to creating a just society for all members, where older and disabled adults are recognized for their value while being supported in their needs through applying a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach.
