Annual Guardianship Training

Event Description

Are you a Guardian appointed by the Probate Court?

If yes, you are required to obtain at least 3 hours of continuing education credits each year. We’re here to help! The Lake County Board of DD/Deepwood is now a Host Site for these classes and will present the courses as offered through the Ohio Supreme Court.

Topic for June 2024: Advocacy and Conflict Resolution

1. Identify how advocacy and conflict resolution are addressed in the Rules of Superintendence;

2. Explain how effective communication and family dynamics impact advocacy and conflict;

3. Apply advocacy and conflict resolution skills to common scenarios; and

4. List resources that can assist with advocacy and conflict resolution in various situations.
