SUMMARY:Monthly Decision Making Series  Workshop #3: Guardianship Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our three-workshop series where we will present instruments and methods used to support loved ones with disabilities in making choices as they approach the age of adulthood. \nWorkshop #3: Guardianship Workshop \nThis workshop is intended for individuals who have already attended our monthly Supported Decision Making\, Guardianship\, and other Alternatives workshop\, and have determined that guardianship is the most appropriate alternative. Since guardianship is considered the most restrictive form of decision support\, it is recommended that you also attend the Digging in to Supported Decision-Making workshop before signing up for this one. We will review the process of putting together a petition for guardianship and the documentation requirements. \nZoom Registration Link: Click Here
