In New Hampshire, adult abuse is defined by the Adult Protection Law (RSA 161-F: 42-57). Adult abuse is any action or omission that results or could result in harm to a person age 18 or older who cannot provide for his or her own care and protection due to the effects of aging or a chronic illness or disability.
The Adult Protection Law identifies six types of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, self-neglect and exploitation. As required by law, the NH Dept. of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services, receives and investigates reports of adult abuse and, when necessary, provides protective services to vulnerable adults.
The Bureau of Adult and Aging Services and the NH Attorney General’s Office will present information regarding best practice response by EMS providers to these incidents as well as utilize case reviews to drive interactive discussion and a question and answer session. Two (2) hours of continuing education credit will be awarded. Coffee and refreshments will be served.
