The Elder Abuse Prevention Certificate Course (EAPCC) is presented by the Upstate Elder Abuse Center (UpEAC) at Lifespan in partnership with the Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center (FLGEC) at the University of Rochester.

This is a ten (10) class online course (20 hours) for professionals that takes a deeper dive into elder abuse topics, including legal aspects, challenges of underserved populations and legislation surrounding elder justice, to name a few. Participants are welcome to take all ten classes or attend just the ones of interest to them. UpEAC brings in professionals from other disciplines to share their knowledge.

This course is designed to equip professionals with: evidence-based approaches to identifying and responding to elder abuse; legal and ethical considerations in reporting and intervention; tools for cross-sector collaboration and advocacy; case studies and practical scenarios relevant to your field.
