Abuse, Neglect, & Exploitation

People under guardianship are vulnerable. They are at risk of abuse, neglect, and exploitation because of age, physical, intellectual, or emotional challenges or their dependence on others. These videos explain how to identify and respond when the person you care for is at risk or harmed.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If you suspect abuse, neglect, or exploitation, contact Adult Protective Services or Child Protective Services.
