Learn How to Protect Those Who Can’t Protect
Themselves
What is true for your ward with dementia can also apply to the
developmentally disabled and any adults who can no longer take care of
themselves – they need a trusted guardian ad litem to
help manage their affairs and give them the care and respect they
deserve.
Gain the skills you need to protect your wards
To ensure you get the training needed to assist your wards, the
State Bar of Wisconsin CLE Seminars offers Adult GAL
2008. Whether you are new to adult guardianship or want a
refresher, this seminar has something you need:
- Find out what to do when your ward needs mental health
treatment in a proper facility
- Understand what factors doctors look for so you can raise
questions when your ward’s competency is being
evaluated
- Learn the “how to’s” of communicating
effectively with elderly people with dementia and the
developmentally disabled
- Explore available community resources and how to match them
to your wards’ needs
- Learn the signs of abuse and how to report them and
intervene legally
- Avoid ethical dilemmas by recognizing potential conflicts of
interest and not crossing the line
