DHS Adult Protective Services Media Toolkit

The Department of Human Services (DHS) Division of Adult Protective Services (APS) has developed a media toolkit designed for facilities, mandatory reporters, and community members to assist in the awareness of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and abandonment of adults ages 18 to 59 living with a disability within the commonwealth. 

Stakeholders can access the APS media toolkit and associated resources at the following link:

The toolkit includes posters, brochures, information cards, and social media posts that can be downloaded and used by all interested stakeholders. As part of this awareness campaign, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services is scheduled to share social media posts in February and March. Stakeholders are encouraged to post, print, and share these resources in their locations, networks, and with individuals and families.
