WELCOME TO THE HILL COUNTRY APS ADVISORY BOARD
SERVING THE HILL COUNTRY REGION
The Hill Country APS Advisory Board is dedicated to strengthening the safety, dignity, and well-being of vulnerable and at-risk adults throughout our communities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization, we bring together Adult Protective Services, healthcare professionals, first responders, community organizations, caregivers, local leaders, and student interns to address the complex needs of older adults and adults with disabilities.
Through collaboration, advocacy, education, and community partnerships, we work to expand access to essential resources, raise awareness of adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and support initiatives that help individuals remain safe, respected, and connected. We are also committed to fostering the next generation of professionals by providing educational opportunities and community-based learning experiences for social work students interested in aging services, Adult Protective Services, case management, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Together, we are building a stronger network of care that empowers our most vulnerable community members to live with dignity, independence, and the support they deserve.
