  • Exhibiting the highest degree of trust and loyalty to the person under guardianship
  • Placing the person in the least restrictive placement
  • Consenting to care, treatment, and services
  • Management of the estate
  • Termination or limitation of your guardianship.

Participants will learn:

  • Models of decision-making
  • Ethical principles and how they apply to your everyday practice
