Social service professionals see clients with varying degrees of mental capacity. Some may already have had someone appointed by the court to make decisions on their behalf; others may have designated someone to assist with decisions should they become unable to do so independently. Finally, while managing a client’s care, you may come to believe that, in the absence of someone to make crucial medical decisions on behalf of the client, they will become a danger to themselves or others.
This workshop will explore the available legal options of Guardianship, Limited Guardianships, Supported Decision Making, and Powers of Attorney. We will explore the ethical tension inherent when a client can no longer make their own medical or placement decisions. Other ethical issues that may arise in treating a client who is no longer competent or may be a danger to themselves or others will also be discussed.
This class meets the licensure requirement for 3 hours of continuing education in ethics.
