Charlotte provided handouts <br />from the training. Possibility of making this training accessible to all of us discussed. <br />• Regarding allegations of abuse, neglect or exploitation, Charlotte provided handout <br />regarding our role. We need consent to make APS report, except if an incident is <br />witnessed and we can encourage others to make reports themselves. Charlotte noted <br />we could always review a concerning situation with her for further discussion and/or <br />investigation. Several examples were discussed. <br />• Interest was expressed in training around verbal abuse. Charlotte noted that Hand in <br />Hand is a 6-module training (at 20 minutes) regarding abuse and she would like to <br />bring that for us to view. <br />• Charlotte has offered virtual dementia tour to facilities and, while interest has been <br />expressed, no one has committed yet so she asked that we mention this option to <br />administrators when we talk with them.
