This conference will explore the often subtle balance between autonomy and risk in multiple areas of guardianship. Topics to be presented include using a client’s social history to understand the client’s decisions; ethical decision making for people with diminished capacity; how guardians address liability when clients make risky decisions; risk and sexual decision making and; how encouraging a client’s autonomy can improve their quality of life.
The conference is directed at a broad audience of professional and lay guardians, social workers, case managers, nurses, people working in the disability community, geriatric care managers, nursing home administrators, attorneys, first responders, and others working in the field.
