The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) is a national non-profit organization that aims to strengthen the capacity of Adult Protective Services (APS) programs at the national, state, and local levels. Established in 1989, NAPSA provides a platform for sharing information, solving problems, and improving the quality of services for victims of elder and vulnerable adult mistreatment. Their mission is to effectively recognize, report, and respond to the needs of elders and adults with disabilities who are victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, while also working towards preventing such abuse whenever possible.
NAPSA operates from its headquarters in Washington, DC, and has members in all fifty states. They work towards their mission by facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange among APS programs, with the goal of enhancing the overall support and protection provided to elders and vulnerable adults. Through their efforts, NAPSA aims to create a safer and more secure environment for those who may be at risk of abuse or mistreatment.
