- Abstract
Elder abuse multidisciplinary teams (MDT) are a person-centered intervention to help ameliorate elder abuse. Teams of professionals from across disciplines and systems aim to increase safety and reduce suffering and risk of harm to older victims at the earliest juncture via coordinated case reviews and tailored responses. Adult Protective Services (APS) is critically important to successful team functioning. APS benefits from involvement on the teams and the teams are made stronger by APS participation. This article offers lessons learned about involving and sustaining APS on multidisciplinary teams.
