Alternatives to Conservatorship Learning Sessions
November 18 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Far Northern and Disability Rights of California (Office of Clients’ Rights) offer quarterly learning sessions regarding alternatives to conservatorship. The information is designed for anyone Far Northern serves, particularly caregivers of teenagers and young adults. We also welcome teachers, interested community members. Anyone who wants to learn more about this topic is welcome.
Our session goal is to help support people in the least restrictive manner by providing information to safeguard identified risks, while also supporting each person’s right to learn, grow and make choices.
During the training we will talk about:
✓ Far Northern’ s history, philosophy and guidelines regarding conservatorship
✓ Being Person Centered and why that is important
✓ Choice, Risk and Change
✓ The role of the Office of Clients’ Rights
✓ Rights of the client (conservatee) to not be conserved
✓ Common difficulties with regard to conservatorship
