If you have ever wondered just what the role of Adult Protective Services truly is, when should you contact them, what kinds of investigations they make, and how much power do they actually have when it comes to protecting your loved one or any vulnerable adult, then this is required listening! (Even if you have never wondered, I recommend this show!)
My co-host, Don Priess, and I had an incredibly candid and enlightening conversation with Bettina Morrow, currently the Supervisor of Adult Protective Services in Jefferson County, Colorado.
Bettina shares her invaluable, honest perspective of the program that promotes "the safety, independence, and quality-of-life for vulnerable adults who are, or are in danger of, being abused, neglected by self or others, or financially exploited, and who are unable to protect themselves." A program that can differ from state to state and even from county to county in terms of definitions, client eligibility requirements and standards of practice.
With over 20 years of international experience, Bettina Morrow started her career in her home country of Australia before moving to the UK. There she practiced social work for 9 years, eventually leading to her move to the U.S. Bettina is a true unicorn, having spent the last 15 years working with at-risk and vulnerable adults with specific expertise in elder abuse, dementia, and guardianship. Bettina has obtained a Bachelor of Social Work and a Masters in Dementia, is a Nationally Certified Guardian, and has presented at state and national conferences.
