Everyone has the right to make their own choices, but people with disabilities often face challenges and obstacles in exercising that right. However, there are strategies that people receiving services, support providers, families, friends, and others can implement to protect and promote self-determination.
In this free 1-hour webinar, Decision-Making Authority: Exploring Sensitive Topics, we’re equipping attendees with the knowledge, guidance, and tools to help ensure people with disabilities are ‘in the driver’s seat’ of their own lives. You’ll hear from a panel with a variety of diverse perspectives involving decision-making authority. The panel will share their insights involving sensitive topics related to relationships, money management, health/safety, consent, and more.
Webinar Panelists:
- Barney Hubert, Guardian / CQL Quality Enhancement Specialist
- Penny Johnson, Tennessee Center for Decision-Making Support
- Selena King, North Dakota Health and Human Services
- Jim Shannon, Lived Experience with a Power of Attorney
