Join us on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 from 11 AM - 1 PM Eastern Time. For guardians, making decisions has complexities that require in-depth knowledge and skill. Which theoretical decision-making principles apply to the situation your client is facing at the moment, and how do you choose the best path to consent or non-consent? What process supports a client’s legal rights? What can you do when the least restrictive alternative comes with more losses than gains? What ethical principles must be considered?

In this 2-hour training, you will review ways to apply the skills from this essential body of knowledge which is likely to make up as much as 13% of your certification exam. Exam-style questions presented in this course can help you prepare for guardianship certification.

Learning Objectives - You will learn definitions, expectations and applications for:
3.1 Decisional Standards Alternatives
32. Informed Consent
3.3 Capacity
3.4 Least Restrictive Alternatives
3.6 Person’s Rights

This live, virtual training is highly interactive and requires participants to engage in typed chat discussion. Participants are encouraged to speak during activities using computer microphones.

We request that participants download the “Application of Surrogate Decision-Making Participant Guide” in advance and have it available to reference during the training.

The course is offered free of charge. Registration is required. 2 Ethics CEU from Center for Guardianship Certification will be awarded. Please check with your state to determine if this CEU meets your needs.
