When Autonomy Meets Protection: Capacity, Competency, and Dignity in Aging  

Designed for professionals in long term care, elder care,  psychology, behavioral health, and social work.    Navigating the balance between preserving an older adult's independence  and ensuring their safety is one of the most complex challenges in modern  eldercare. This training is specifically designed to provide dedicated  professionals with the ethical frameworks and practical tools needed to  address these issues. Attendees will be equipped with firsthand  information on decision-making capacity, legal definitions of competency,  and evidence-based strategies that honor an individual's personal  autonomy. By participating, you will gain critical insights into managing  care dilemmas while safeguarding the dignity and rights of the aging  population.
