Guardianship: You Have Been Appointed Guardian, Now What?
In this workshop, we share what great guardians do to create a successful experience for the adult-with-a-guardian, for the state or court that appointed you, and for yourself.
About the Workshop
Guardians are appointed to provide decisional support in areas where a young adult has challenges. For family guardians, who have been caring for the person through childhood, this transition comes with new rules. And some of the rules are shocking. To make it even more confusing, many loved ones aren’t even made aware of what they are expected to do (or not do).
In this workshop, we share the top 10 things new guardians must know. This list includes what great guardians do to create a successful experience for the adult-with-a-guardian, for the state or court that appointed you, and for yourself.
