Training Workshops on Elder Abuse and Sexual Assault (Wyoming, USA)

WIND to Sponsor Training Workshops on Elder Abuse and Sexual Assault

May 29, 2008 -- The Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND) at the University of Wyoming will sponsor a pair of training workshops to help raise awareness about elder abuse and sexual assault.

The free workshops, funded by a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, are designed specifically for statewide law enforcement officials.

The first workshop, July 31-Aug. 1 in Casper, is geared for detectives investigating crimes against the elderly. The second workshop, Sept. 9-10 in Lander, is for first responders to the scene of an alleged crime.

"This is a one-time opportunity for Wyoming's law enforcement community to take advantage of national-level training and materials to help the response, investigation and prosecution of crime against our elderly citizens," says Nance Shelsta, Wyoming Adult Protection Training project coordinator in Fremont County. "It's really enlightening and eye-opening training."

For more information or to register for the workshops, call Shelsta at (307) 856-9200 or
e-mail shelsta@wyoming.com, or call Deb Fleming, clinical professor in the UW Department of Medical Education and Public Health, at (307) 766-2719

WIND, part of the UW College of Health Sciences, provides teaching, research, information services and technical assistance to UW and the state.
