The following are goals have been outlined in the grant proposal:

This will be accomplished by holding a training with speakers from ADRC, Corporation Counsel, and Wood County Human Services.

-All APS (Adult Protective Services) workers will become certified to administer the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tool.

-Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) and Crisis Intervention Partners (CIP) trainings will be offered.
