Lunchtime Learners:
Planning Ahead So You Can Protect Your Future
Fri, Nov 1st • 12-1 pm
at Trailside

Formed in 2015, the Midland County Vulnerable Adult Network (MCVAN) is a multidisciplinary team dedicated to addressing the complex and often-underreported issue of elder abuse. Comprising of a diverse group of professionals—including Adult Protective Services, Law Enforcement, Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Senior Services, MyMichigan Health, the Office of Public Guardian, Midland Health Department, Weiler Law Group, Veteran’s Services, and various local housing and care facilities—the Collaborative strives to ensure effective investigations and prosecutions of abuse. By leveraging the expertise of its members, the group works to provide comprehensive support and protection for vulnerable adults.

In addition to its investigative and prosecutorial efforts, the Collaborative is committed to raising awareness and educating both professionals and community members about the signs, symptoms, and treatment of vulnerable adult abuse. We must however go beyond education and surveillance. Individuals are not inherently vulnerable. In this session, you will learn which agencies or organizations in our community can help, and what you can do to plan ahead and protect your future. Through its coordinated approach, the Midland County Vulnerable Adult Network seeks to make a significant impact on the well-being of vulnerable adults and enhance community engagement in combating vulnerable adult abuse.
