​Adult Protective Services Media Toolkit

The Department of Human Services' (DHS) Division of Adult Protective Services (APS) developed this media toolkit designed for facilities, mandatory reporters, and community members to assist in the awareness of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and abandonment of adults ages 18 to 59 living with a disability within the commonwealth.

Learn more about APS and please use these resources to help promote APS to your clients, constituents, and network.
