“Guardianship 101”

Program: For some members of our society, legal protection may be necessary even after they have entered adulthood. These individuals may have been injured in an accident, continue to live with a debilitating physical or mental illness or have another condition that prevents them for caring for themselves. In these cases, a guardianship may be established. This webinar will focus on situations in which a guardianship may be necessary, and how to avoid a guardianship proceeding, and the impact that moving between states can have on an individual that has been subject to a guardianship proceeding.

Presenter: Britt Burner, Esq., Burner Law Group, P.C., practicing in the areas of elder law, estate planning, guardianships and trusts and estates. She is chair of the NYC Bar Association’s Committee on the Legal Problems of the Aging.

Presented by: Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

“Preventing Burnout for the Dementia Caregiver”

Program:  Any kind of work, regardless of how enjoyable or personally meaningful it may be, can lead to burnout. And, it is well-documented that the stress of caregiving, especially without respite or a predictable conclusion, often leads to health problems, including depression and cardiovascular disease. Caregivers often view self-care, hobbies, and enjoyment of pastimes an unnecessary indulgence. This webinar will help caregivers understand the importance of self-care and how it can foster positive caregiving experiences without burnout.

Presenter: Daniel Paulson, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Central Florida. As a faculty member at UCF, Dr. Paulson traches in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program and directs the Orlando Later-Life Developmental Research Lab where his research focuses on both dementia caregiving and late-life depression.

Presented by: Family Caregiver Alliance
