Summer Guardianship Series Part Two: Supported Decision-Making for Independence and Growth
Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Time:12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EDT
Location: Virtually on Zoom
Supported decision-making (SDM) is a unique and empowering process for helping a young adult without taking away legal rights in court. It is gradually becoming recognized worldwide so that a young adult’s SDM team can have access to information previously provided only to legal guardians.
So, how does a young adult or family decide if SDM is right for them? If a guardianship is in place, is it possible to use SDM in addition? And could successful SDM signal a need to end a legal guardianship?
In this program, we will answer common questions about choosing and using supported decision-making.
Speaker: Heather Connors, Ph.D., Executive Director of The Center for Guardianship Excellence
