Older adults and vulnerable adults may permit guests to stay at their homes for a variety of reasons. The arrangements can turn exploitative if the initially welcomed guest overstays their welcome, refuses to find alternative housing, or embarks upon controlling behavior. Victim services manager Betsy M and staff attorney Laura Orr of the Minnesota Elder Justice Center will offer insights into the elder abuse dynamics, client-centered approaches, and safety planning potentially applicable when an older adult or a vulnerable adult needs help parting with an unwanted guest. The webinar will feature a video telling the story of Helen, an individual who received services from MEJC to alleviate her experience of an unwanted guest.
