A Shift in Perspective: The Relevance of Trauma-Informed Practices for MDTs:
Some behaviors exhibited by trauma survivors are misinterpreted by MDT members as lying, or somehow inconsistent with how they expect a victim to behave. Lack of understanding of how trauma affects a victim can help determine whether the case even goes forward and thereby becomes an access to justice issue. Recent work on the impact of trauma across the life course underscores the need to recognize trauma and incorporate trauma-informed practices into systems’ responses to elder abuse. In this session, attendees will learn the six principles of trauma-informed practices and the application of those principles to the MDT context, including a discussion of the benefits and challenges of adopting trauma-informed practices.

Making the Case: How Collaboration Among Law Enforcement, Prosecutors, and MDT Member Agencies Improves Prosecution:
There is some evidence that cases reviewed by an MDT have higher rates of referral for prosecution. That may be because MDTs are effective and efficient in ensuring better investigations and prosecutions of elder abuse crimes by bringing together many professionals to share their expertise, to share information, and to improve communication. Members of the MDT who attend to the needs of the victims play an important role in facilitating prosecutors’ ability to hold abusers accountable. This session will describe how MDTs benefit elder abuse prosecution, discuss best practice for collaborating with law enforcement through MDTs, and will showcase ways that MDTs have made elder abuse investigations more successful through case examples.

Putting These Principles into Practice:
The RISE model is a victim service program designed to reduce harm, respect autonomy, restore relationships, and advance justice in a holistic and flexible way. RISE is an example of a program that has adopted all of the principles discussed over the past day and half. In this session, members of the RISE Collaborative will discuss the benefits to – and the struggles with – adopting these principles and how adoption of these principles has contributed to better outcomes for their clients, whether or not the case is prosecuted.

MDT Program Evaluation
Although randomized control trials are considered the gold standard in program evaluation, they may be less applicable to MDTs, which are complex learning systems and potentially in a continual state of adaptive change. This session will introduce attendees to knowledge generation strategies and procedures that are more applicable to the complex and dynamic nature of MDTs. This session will explore alternative program evaluation strategies that can help teams understand their impact and adjust their procedures, with the goal of enhancing justice for older adults.
