IGFA Monthly General Assembly & Fundamentals of Guardianship & Conservatorship Workshop – Rights & Alternatives

Rights & Alternatives

This training is geared toward all (family and professional) guardians and conservators who are newer to their responsibilities and those wanting a refresher. We will be reviewing the NGA Ethical Principles and the Standards of Practice that elaborate on those principles, as well as the Fundamentals of Guardianship. We will be using the recorded webinars from the National Guardianship Association; discussions will be facilitated by experienced local guardians, conservators, and other related professionals.

This module discusses the rights of persons under guardianship, the importance of protecting and advocating for the persons under guardianship rights, alternatives to guardianship and when they should and should not be used and alternative ways to handle issues related to finances or health.

The webinar will last for 60 minutes and is eligible for one hour of continuing education credit from the Center for Guardianship Certification with application and $10.
