Executive Summary:
The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) Annual Conference brings together Adult Protective (APS) professionals and multidisciplinary experts from across the country to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and strengthen professional networks. It is the only national conference focusing solely on APS.
The Lake County Adult Protective Services (APS) Program is committed to the safety and well-being of older and dependent adults in our community. The information and professional contacts gained through participation in NAPSA will provide invaluable resources to the APS program as it serves Lake County's disproportionately large senior population.
