The program provides guardianship, conservatorship, family support, case management, and advocacy through various initiatives. The Guardianship/Conservatorship Program assists individuals who cannot make sound decisions regarding their welfare and lack family or friends to take on these roles. If all other options have been exhausted, the agency can act as the Guardian or Conservator. Meanwhile, the Guardianship Diversion Program focuses on exploring all possible alternatives before pursuing legal adjudication. This program includes client assessments, personal support, short-term counseling, placement assistance, case monitoring, outreach, community education on alternatives to guardianship, and referrals to local resources.
