Wisconsin Elder Adults-at-Risk
Help Lines

Every county has an elder adults-at-risk (also known as elder abuse) agency that will look into reported incidents of abuse, neglect, financial exploitation and self neglect.  Call your County Help Line if you need to talk to someone about suspected abuse of an elder (age 60 and over).  To report abuse of an adult age 18 to 59, contact your county adults-at-risk agency.

To find a county's help line, click the county on the map below or use the text-only directory of counties and tribes. If you do not know the name of the county, you can find it by looking it up as long as you know the city, town or village (exit DHFS)
