Sometimes you know a client best. And you are skilled in supported decision making. Should you take on a formal decision-making role or limit your role?
Many Aging Life Care Professionals struggle with this boundary. Explore what the Aging Life Care Association Standards of Practice say, what Aging Life Care Professionals® do in real life, and how to determine your most appropriate role for your clients and your business.
The goal of this webinar is to help Aging Life Care Professionals understand the pros and cons of taking on a decision-making role with clients and how to integrate into practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will understand the Standards with respect to decision-making and the role of the ALCP.
- Participants will be able to articulate the pros and cons of serving as a client’s decision-maker.
- Participants will be able to articulate a process for taking on a decision-making role, if determined to be appropriate for an individual practice.
