 training is presented from a peer perspective by people who have lived 
 experience with mental health disabilities.\n\nLive Caption and ASL 
 Interpreter will be Available. \n\n\nPeople receiving mental health 
 treatment have a right to be free from all kinds of abuse. Abuse and 
 neglect is a serious problem that has harmful effects on victims. Whether 
 the abuse takes place in a licensed facility or community setting, it needs 
 to be reported. \n\nIf you are an elder or dependent adult, you have rights 
 that protect you from abuse and neglect. If you are an employee or 
 volunteer at a licensed facility, you are a mandated reporter. \n\nIn this 
 training, elders, dependent adults and mandated reporters will learn how, 
 when and where to report abuse or neglect based on where it occurs.\n\nWe 
 will explore the following:\n\n--Who are elders and dependent 
 adults?\n\n--Define differences between abuse and neglect\n\n--The effects 
 of abuse and neglect on victims\n\n--How to address abuse and 
 neglect\n\n--When and where to report it\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\nMaria Garcia’s 
 journey with Disability Rights California started 14 years ago. First as 
 Assistant Patients’ Rights Advocate with the California Office of 
 Patients’ Rights. COPR advocates for the rights of patients receiving 
 mental health treatment at state hospitals.\n\nMaria has lived experience 
 with mental health and while working for COPR she learned to self-advocate 
 and advocate for others. In 2020, she joined DRC’s Peer Self-Advocacy 
 program as coordinator.\n\nHer passion is learning and teaching to empower 
 others.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/02/04/18847763.php
