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: Navigating Through Ethically Challenging Situations

Guardians often find themselves in the challenging dilemma of remaining person-centered while navigating legal lines and maintaining protective responsibilities. This course focuses on how to best proceed in scenarios that do not have single, clear solutions. As a result of this course, participants will be able to:

• Prioritize the goals, needs, and preferences of individuals under their care, per national standards, even in challenging situations;
• Follow legal and ethical guidelines in confronting issues with individuals under their care;
• Use decision-making models in determining the appropriate resolution to issues; and
• Interact with the courts as required or appropriate in resolving issues.

Attend the following class:

• July 14, 2025 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Attend in person: Vocational Guidance Center ( VGC) Training Room, 8121 Deepwood Blvd, Mentor, Ohio 44060.
