What is A Helping Voice – your partner in mandated reporting?
What does it mean to be your partner in the mandated reporting of elder abuse and mistreatment in Maine? It means that we are here to help you figure out whether what you are worried about is abuse, to offer guidance on whether you are a mandated reporter, to tell you how to call APS and to support you in making that call, if it’s necessary.

Who founded A Helping Voice?
We are a partnership between the Elder Abuse Institute of Maine, a Gerontologist from the Keck School of Medicine at USC and a Geriatrician from Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth. Funded by the RWJF IRL Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Leadership Program, our goal is to help people navigate the difficult and often painful decisions about what to do when an older adult they know or care for may be being abused or mistreated.
