- Description
- A Shift in Perspective: The Relevance of Trauma-Informed Practices for MDTs:
Some behaviors exhibited by trauma survivors are misinterpreted by MDT members as lying, or somehow inconsistent with how they expect a victim to behave. Lack of understanding of how trauma affects a victim can help determine whether the case even goes forward and thereby becomes an access to justice issue. Recent work on the impact of trauma across the life course underscores the need to recognize trauma and incorporate trauma-informed practices into systems’ responses to elder abuse. In this session, attendees will learn the six principles of trauma-informed practices and the application of those principles to the MDT context, including a discussion of the benefits and challenges of adopting trauma-informed practices.

- Making the Case: How Collaboration Among Law Enforcement, Prosecutors, and MDT Member Agencies Improves Prosecution:
There is some evidence that cases reviewed by an MDT have higher rates of referral for prosecution. That may be because MDTs are effective and efficient in ensuring better investigations and prosecutions of elder abuse crimes by bringing together many professionals to share their expertise, to share information, and to improve communication. Members of the MDT who attend to the needs of the victims play an important role in facilitating prosecutors’ ability to hold abusers accountable. This session will describe how MDTs benefit elder abuse prosecution, discuss best practice for collaborating with law enforcement through MDTs, and will showcase ways that MDTs have made elder abuse investigations more successful through case examples.

- Confidentiality and Information Sharing on MDTs:
Effective MDTs increase the ability of the criminal justice system to seek accountability and improve the victim experience when interacting with criminal justice. However, misunderstandings about the balance between sharing information and protecting confidential information can create barriers for new and existing MDTs. This session will provide a foundational understanding of confidentiality and describe ways of managing confidentiality that are respectful of all professions serving on elder abuse MDTs.

The manner in which MDT members communicate with older clients has implications for whether older adults engage with MDT members as well as the accuracy and completeness of the information gathered. This session will help professionals understand how to communicate effectively with older adults. When an older adult experiences abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation, they need and deserve professionals who recognize their unique needs, strengths, and abilities during interviews. This session will provide information on practical methods to conduct effective and strength-based interviews to ensure useful information is gathered.
