When Your Consumer Needs A Guardian: Practical, Ethical, and Legal Aspects of Seeking Guardianship

Speaker(s):

James Reynolds, MD

Ron Smith, Ph.D., J.D.

Presentation:

The appointment of a substitute decision-maker is a legal matter decided by a Judge or Jury, but initiated by a health care provider. Depriving a person of their autonomy is an awesome responsibility, matched only by the equally awesome responsibility placed upon a caregiver to act in the best interests of a consumer who is not competent to manage their own affairs. Knowing when that time has come can be trying for the consumer and caregiver. Dr. Reynolds has evaluated many consumers for Guardianship and testified in court hearings and jury trials on the issue. Mr. Smith is an experienced attorney with the Office of the Missouri Attorney-General who has tried numerous cases of Guardianship on behalf of the State.       

Dr. Reynolds will speak on the decision-making process in determining the need for a Guardian, and some practical and ethical considerations inherent in this important decision. He will cover recent changes in Guardianship law concerning specific questions required by the law, including the rights to marry, vote, and drive a car. Mr. Smith will speak to the process of testifying in court on these matters, the information your attorney will need to demonstrate to the Court through testimony, and what to expect from cross-examination. Caregivers who are anxious about appearing in court will particularly find his advice helpful.

Objectives:

  1. Define factors to consider when proposing Guardianship
  2. Review recent changes in Guardianship law and questions to address in detail.
  3. Identify the importance of a good working relationship with the attorney and the issues that will arise in court

What’s Climate Got to Do with It?

Speaker(s):

Jacob Lee, MD

Presentation:

Climate change is the central crisis of the Anthropocene, a species-level threat which is part of a short list of dangers to offer true existential threat to Humans. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their groundbreaking Global Warming of 1.5°C Special Report in 2018 they built upon the undeniable body of evidence which had propelled 195 nations to enact the Paris Climate Accords two years earlier. Climate change threatens to become the greatest source of human misery over the next one or two human lifetimes. Natural disasters like wildfires and heatwaves, hurricanes and floods have displaced many, while desertification causes countless climate refugees. Weather-related events displace more than 20,000,000 globally each year. Disasters also cause a different kind of psychological distress than seasonal weather patterns, and cause more disruption to normal life patterns. But the implications of climate change can be more direct, with associations with the above conditions increasingly coming to light.

Rates of PTSD, depression and anxiety are found to rise sharply following flooding, another natural disaster of increasing prevalence due to anthropomorphic climate change. Heat waves have been found to directly contribute to mood disorders and anxiety, and people with mental illness are at three times increased risk to die from a heat wave than neuro-typical controls. Extreme heat’s associations with suicide attempts and heat-related violence may also be of direct interest to the psychiatrist. Thanks to an expanding body of evidence linking environmental factors to psychiatric outcomes through mechanisms including epigenetics, congenital defects, or impaired neurodevelopment, the importance of these considerations will continue to grow within psychiatry.

Objectives:

  1. Briefly outline critical milestones and projections for earth’s climate
  2. Identify direct and indirect associations between classical psychiatric conditions and rising temperatures, natural disasters, and other climate outcomes.
    1. PTSD
    2. Depression
    3. Suicidality
    4. Anxiety
    5. Substance use disorders
  3. Discuss climate-related anxiety

T.A.Y. Supported Employment & Education Rolling with the Changes

Speaker(s):

David Lynde, MSW, LICSW

Presentation:

The national pandemic in the US has forced mental health services delivery approaches to change rapidly and continuously.  We know a good deal about what works for Supported Employment & Education outside of this national health emergency, however, we do not have research to tell us what works in the current situation for Missouri and nationally.

People whose lives are affected by mental illness are still working, still furthering their educations and still pursuing their economic independence during the presence of COVID-19.  This presentation will provide a forum to learn, explore and share strategies, techniques, and service delivery options as well as supports for Transition Aged Youth who are receiving services related to their employment and / or educational goals.

Objectives:

  1. Identify the evidence-based principles of Supported Employment and Education Services
  2. Identify potential concerns of people in services regarding employment and education during the pandemic
  3. Describe creative engagement strategies for people in services regarding education and employment goals during the pandemic
  4. Identify and describe strategies and interventions as part of SEE services to assist people with education and employment goals during the pandemic
