Rethinking Guardianship

There are several ways to continue assisting your loved one in making decisions after they reach the age of 18 without stripping them of all their civil rights through guardianship. You can watch a video training on alternatives to guardianship here.

The Council has also partnered with Astrive Advocacy to host training opportunities across the state of West Virginia on Supported Decision Making, which is an alternative to guardianship.
