SUMMARY:Building Bridges: Advancing Supported Decision-Making in Diverse Communities
DESCRIPTION:California State University East Bay is hosting a FREE conference on Supported Decision Making in Oakland at Laney College on October 25th! The state of California granted formal recognition to SDM in September 2022 with the passage of AB 1663\, Probate Conservatorship Reform and Supported Decision-Making Act. This law changed the landscape for adults with disabilities and adults with mental health challenges. The law allows these groups to choose who can support them when making decisions in their life in relation to: education\, healthcare\, law and finances. CSUEB received a grant that is funding a statewide conference that will go into greater detail on this topic. We are inviting current professionals\, students\, healthcare professionals\, therapists\, social workers\, finance and legal professionals to join us. \n  \nWhat is Supported Decision Making? A new law that gives adults with disabilities choices with who will support them. More information on SDM is here\, and please attend the Conference!! \n  \nThe Building Bridges: Advancing Supported Decision-Making (SDM) in Diverse Communities conference aims to address SDM for professionals in California in: \n  \n-Education \n-Healthcare \n-Speech pathology \n-Social work\, social services\, and behavioral health \n-Law \n-Nonprofit organizations \n  \nand others who work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs)\, aging communities and people with mental health conditions. This conference aims to increase knowledge and application of SDM with professionals in California\, facilitate community dialogue\, and work towards a cultural shift to reduce the use of conservatorship. Continuing Education Units (CEU) are available. \n  \nThe conference will include workshops and community conversation sessions that can increase the capacity for professionals serving diverse people with disabilities and their families to provide relevant and culturally responsive information about SDM. \n  \nContact: sdmconference@csueastbay.edu \nConference Website: Building Bridges: Advancing Supported Decision-Making in Diverse Communities Conference \n  \nYou must register in advance for this event: Registration Link
