Vulnerable Adult Initiative Work Groups

Vulnerable Adult Initiative: Final Report 2008

Work Groups

Immediately following the summit in June 2007, the Attorney General formed work groups to begin the process of identifying viable solutions to the issues and barriers identified by participants.

The barriers and issues fell into six basic categories:

1. Professional Coordination & Communication
2. Protection Subgroup: DSHS/APS
3. Protection Subgroup: Guardianship
4. Community Awareness & Training
5. Financial Exploitation
6. Long-Term Care

Again professionals from around the state were invited to participate in a series of meetings to distill the issues and identify solutions.

The kickoff meeting was held in the Seattle Offices of the Attorney General on Sep. 25, 2007.

The meeting in which the groups presented their final reports was held on May 9, 2008.
