Minnesota's Vulnerable Adult Act (VAA) guides the work of many people providing supports, services and interventions to and for adults in our state. Collaborative conversation about the VAA helps identify whether changes to the law or its interpretations would support professionals in the field. The VAA as a tool offers direction; but also inspires questions: What are the overarching goals of the VAA? How do we prioritize (if we do) between prevention and response; holding perpetrators accountable and protecting the vulnerable person? How should limited resources be directed? Do definitions in the VAA accurately capture or describe the nature of maltreatment? What do we hope are outcomes for vulnerable adults in Minnesota? Join us to discuss these and other questions related to your own work within the context of the VAA; and share your thoughts and ideas with us and others who are passionate about serving Minnesota's vulnerable adults.
