Worcester County Elder Abuse Roundtable
Established in 2005, the Roundtable is a coalition dedicated to elder abuse prevention, protection, outreach and education. Our professional members include local & state law enforcement officials, elder services agencies, domestic violence agencies and community service organizations. The coalition is an outcome of a 2002 Training Grant to Stop Abuse and Sexual Assault Against Older Individuals or Individuals with Disabilities Program. The Roundtable is currently facilitated by The Molly Bish Center at Anna Maria College.
The Roundtable is not a direct service provider of elder protective services, but our members are.
