BERKS COUNTY – PA Department of Aging Secretary Jason Kavulich visited the Berks County Office on Aging to discuss how the Department is helping the Berks, Lancaster, and Lehigh County Area Agencies on Aging or AAAs strengthen their work in protecting older adults from abuse. The three AAAs are among the first in PA to receive individualized, tailored support as they develop Multidisciplinary Teams or MDTs to help address complex older adult protective services cases in their respective counties and regions. MDTs are community-based groups that support the Department’s commitment to protecting older Pennsylvanians from abuse by bringing together professionals from various fields like social services, criminal and civil justice, mental health, medicine, finance, and public health.
