Training Library

This training library includes free, on demand videos and interactive tools on multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) and adult protection. Because the project funding originally focused on older adults, that is where our work began in compiling the trainings in this library. Over time, we are working to expand expanded the trainings and tools available through the Adult Protection Network to address concerns facing other adult populations as well.  Although focused on older adults, these trainings should be useful for officials who work with all adults in need of protection, including disabled adults and incompetent adults.
