SUMMARY:Webinar: Pathways to Person-Centered Decision-Making and Alternatives to Guardianship
DESCRIPTION:Person-centered practice is grounded in the idea that older adults and people with disabilities are the decision makers in their own lives. Supporting people to make choices is a priority for person-centered systems. Too often people with disabilities and older adults are appointed guardians. When people have guardians\, their ability to make choices may be significantly constrained in the name of keeping them safe. \nThis webinar will explore how systems are expanding alternatives to guardianship\, such as supported decision-making where people choose supporters to help them make important decisions in their lives. Current efforts across the country and internationally to implement supported decision-making and other alternatives provide an historic opportunity to help people take control of their lives. In this webinar\, national experts\, state representatives\, advocates\, and people with lived experience of disability from Colorado\, Georgia\, and Wisconsin\, will outline strategies for systems and a new NCAPPS resource to expand supported decision making so that more people can benefit from these alternatives to guardianship. \nNCAPPS webinars include ASL interpretation and live-captions in both English and Spanish. If you require any additional accommodations\, please email Saska Rajcevic. Please note that some accommodation requests made less than one week before an event may not be possible. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:ILS Webinar/Seminario en Espanol: Como Brindar Apoyo a Familiares con Necesidades Intellectuales y del Desarrollo que estan experimentando ansiedad en un mundo prolongado por el COVID.
DESCRIPTION:Este seminario web se enfoca en los efectos que vivir en un mundo de Covid ha provocado en las personas con discapacidades intelectuales y del desarrollo y que pueden estar lidiando con la ansiedad. Además\, el seminario web también analizará cómo los cuidadores pueden apoyar mejor a los miembros de su familia mientras se cuidan a sí mismos. \nLa ansiedad es una de las condiciones de salud mental más prevalentes entre las personas con discapacidades intelectuales y del desarrollo. La pandemia de Covid 2019 ha puesto mucho estrés y restricciones en la vida de todos y esto ha tenido un efecto significativo en las personas con IDD. Si bien los clientes pueden haber estado lidiando con la ansiedad antes del estallido de la pandemia\, la pandemia ha exacerbado esos síntomas para las personas; y eso ha causado una gran cantidad de estrés\, no solo en ellos\, sino también en las personas que los cuidan. La pandemia todavía está ocurriendo en el presente\, mientras que las restricciones y las perdidas se han bajado un poco\, continúa cobrando un precio en la vida de los clientes y cuidadores. En este seminario web\, le mostraremos estrategias para apoyar mejor a su ser querido en el hogar\, al mismo tiempo que se toma un tiempo para cuidarse a sí mismo como cuidador. \nPresentado por la Srta. Sanjuana Meza. Ella actualmente trabaja en Clearbrook\, una agencia que apoya a personas con discapacidades intelectuales\, como Terapeuta de Salud Conductual Bilingüe (español/inglés) en una clínica de Rolling Meadows. Sanjuana obtuvo una Licenciatura en Psicología de la Universidad Panamericana de Texas\, y luego obtuvo una Maestría en Psicología Clínica Profesional\, Práctica de Consejería en la Universidad Roosevelt en Chicago. \nEnlace de inscripcion:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G3ECKBG4QuKgtBlwRzN6Eg
