SUMMARY:Topic 17a Taller de lengua española sobre tutela/17A Guardianship (Spanish language workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Fecha y hora: 14 de marzo de 2024 12-1pmh \nEste taller se impartirá únicamente en español. \nThis workshop will be given in Spanish only. \nEste taller sobre tutela 17A está dirigido a cuidadores que ya asistieron a nuestro taller sobre toma de decisiones con apoyo del 6 de marzo. 17Una tutela es la forma de tutela otorgada a los cuidadores de personas con discapacidades intelectuales o del desarrollo. Dado que la tutela se considera la forma más restrictiva de apoyo a las decisiones\, se recomienda que considere la toma de decisiones con apoyo antes de comenzar el proceso de tutela. Para nuestro taller de tutela del 14 de marzo revisaremos los requisitos para la tutela y el proceso de elaboración de una petición de tutela. \nThis workshop on 17A guardianship is intended for caregivers who have already attended our March 6 Supported Decision-Making workshop. 17A guardianship is the form of guardianship granted to caregivers of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Since guardianship is considered the most restrictive form of decision support\, it is recommended that you consider Supported Decision Making before starting the guardianship process. For our March 14 guardianship workshop we will review the requirements for guardianship and the process of putting together a guardianship petition. \nEnlace de Zoom para la registracion: Haga clic aquí \nZoom Registration Link: Click Here
