Networks of Care:  
Care Management and Fiduciary Services for Clients and Families

The effects of aging late in life or certain disabilities are felt deeply throughout whole families.  Mental health professionals are often closest to the system and see middle-aged adults struggling with the care of elderly parents, or older clients themselves starting to need more help.  

This is a nuts-and-bolts workshop about a set of services that many people will eventually need.  The instructors will address concrete questions you or your clients might have, such as:

-- How do you know if someone needs a Care Manager and how much do they charge?

-- What is a Fiduciary and what do they do and what don't they do?

--  What should you ask, what should you look at, in finding the best Fiduciary for your clients?

--  Who are they working for and what do they charge?

The instructors are practicing professionals in the field as well as experienced educators who are uniquely able to describe a care and financial management world in the ways that are relevant to therapists and counselors.
