Our Mission...
The Ohio Coalition for Adult Protective Services is a statewide coalition that strives to enhance the provision of services to older adults at risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation through collaboration, education and advocacy.
Who we are
OCAPS, the nation’s longest continuous state elder abuse network, has accomplished much throughout the years, thanks to a shared and committed vision of a world without older adult maltreatment.
Activities include: hosting the OCAPS Annual Conference; offering engaging, educational programs for victims and the general public; informing OCAPS members through updates and newsletters; providing technical assistance to local agencies; as well as advocating for more funding and legislative changes to reach our vision through testimony, letter writing campaigns, and meeting with elected and appointed officials.
