Undoing Undue Influence
Fri, Jun 25, 2021 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM CDT
Powerful individuals often use unfair tactics to manipulate the less powerful to benefit themselves with devastating consequences for their victims. This webinar will describe how undue influence has been addressed in the fields of psychology, law, and adult protective services (APS). It will also offer strategies for preventing, identifying and responding to undue influence. Recent developments in California will be highlighted, including that state's four-pronged statutory definition of undue influence, conceptual frameworks, and screening tools designed for APS workers and others.
Presenter: Lisa Nerenberg, MSW, MPH
