Partnerships for Elder Protection strives to prevent abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of elders aged 60 and older and adults with disabilities. P.E.P. works to build community partnerships which promote awareness and education, and provide intervention to eliminate vulnerability and isolation.
Serving the greater Billings area, the coalition counts among its partners government and law enforcement officials, financial institutions, charitable and religious organizations, and others dedicated to preventing abuse and exploitation.
Launched in the spring of 2010, P.E.P. is exploring other resources and events. Updates on activities may be found here.
Coalition meetings are open to the public, and are held in Billings the fourth Wednesday of each month from 12 pm to 1 pm. Meetings feature speakers and presentations on various issues in financial abuse and exploitation of elders and adults with disabilities.
