The Branch-St. Joseph Area Agency on Aging, in collaboration with the Branch County Elder Abuse Prevention Coalition, will sign the revised and enhanced “Branch County Vulnerable Adult Protocol” Wednesday morning.
The special event will occur at the Branch County Sheriff’s Office.
The new protocol uses an inter-disciplinary team approach to address the growing number of cases of vulnerable-adult abuse, neglect and exploitation.
The coalition, now referred to as the Branch County IDT, includes representation from local law enforcement, Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, Legal Services of South-Central Michigan, Branch County Prosecutor’s Office, Area Agency on Aging and Pines Behavioral Health.
