SUMMARY:NCLER Promoting Autonomy for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Decisional and Other Supports
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Everyone needs a little support now and then. For some older adults and adults with disabilities\, getting the support they need can be critical to maintaining their independence and self-determination. The training will explore strategies for identifying and implementing decisional and other supports for adults who might need assistance in particular areas\, and will discuss how advocates who work with adults can\, through the thoughtful implementation of well-crafted supports\, maximize their client’s autonomy while minimizing the intrusion on decision-making authority. This training will look at the broad range of support mechanisms and strategies available—formal and informal\, legal and nonlegal— including: \n\nSupported decision-making;\nInformal supports\, like family\, friends\, neighbors\, and community and religious organizations;\nSocial supports\, including day programs\, housekeeping services\, congregate or delivered meals\, and transportation services;\nFinancial supports\, such as automated banking\, restricted debit/credit cards\, joint bank accounts\, representative payees\, powers of attorney\, and trusts; and\nHealthcare supports\, like virtual electronic monitoring\, decision-making proxies\, and powers of attorney.\n\nPresenters will also provide clarifying examples to demonstrate how you can effectively counsel clients to guide them through selecting the appropriate supports and their trusted supporters. \nPresenters: \n\nAllison Cohen Hall\, PhD\, Institute for Community Inclusion\, University of Massachusetts Boston\nJim Berchtold\, Esq.\, Justice in Aging\n\nCapacity for this session is limited to 3\,000 participants\, and all participants will have the option of accessing audio through the computer or by phone. Closed captioning will be available. Please be sure to log onto the webinar a few minutes early in order to secure your place for the live presentation on Zoom. If you would like to request ASL interpretation or have other accessibility related questions\, please email ncler@acl.hhs.gov at least one week in advance. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our website shortly after the presentation. The recording and training materials will also be emailed to all registrants within a few days after the training. We are unable to offer CEU’s or other certifications.
