Whether it’s a family member stepping into guardianship for the first time or a professional guardian building a defensible practice, most people enter this role without a clear orientation to what’s actually expected of them — legally, ethically, and practically. DCTRC’s Guardianships & Conservatorships: A Safeguard Learning Product for Professional and Family Guardians closes that gap.

The course covers foundational definitions and the legal framework, then walks through initiating the process, determining incapacity, and court proceedings — including what to document and why. It moves into ethical responsibilities, unique considerations for family guardians, and navigating medical services for wards, closing with strategies for handling difficult family dynamics and a framework of best practices.

Part of DCTRC’s Michigan AFC CEU catalog, this course also helps administrators and staff communicate more effectively with courts, families, and case managers when a resident has a guardian involved in their care.
