Celebrated every October, NDEAM is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities to our workplaces and economy. Led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), NDEAM also showcases supportive, inclusive policies and practices that benefit workers and employers alike. This year's theme, Disability: Part of the Equity Equation, recognizes the important role that individuals with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce.

The National Adult Protective Services Training Center (NATC), funded by ACL and administered by the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA), provides self-paced eLearning courses for APS professionals throughout the United States. While designed to support APS professionals, the NATC is also available to allied professionals interested in learning more about adult maltreatment and the work of APS.
