Supported decision-making (SDM) has gained significant traction as a less restrictive alternative to guardianship, but as adoption grows, so do the practical questions facing the attorneys and financial advisors who help implement it. How are SDM agreements holding up when presented to banks, healthcare providers, and government agencies? What happens when a supporter’s interests conflict with those of the individual? And how should professionals respond when SDM may not be the right fit?

Join Lisa P. Lepine, BA, JD, Executive Director of The Arc of Macomb County in Michigan, for a one-hour webinar that moves beyond the basics of SDM and into the real-world challenges emerging as these arrangements become more common. Drawing on her extensive experience at The Arc, Lisa will share practical insights on how SDM is actually being used, where it is working well, and where professionals are running into obstacles.
