Navigating Legal Decisions in Cognitive Decline: A Caregiver’s Guide
About this Event

Version française ci-dessous


This workshop will help caregivers understand the legal and practical steps that may arise when a loved one with cognitive decline is no longer able to manage their affairs. It will provide an overview of mandate homologation, protective regimes, and the roles of professionals involved in these processes in Quebec.

Caregivers will receive clear, accessible information about when these measures may be needed and what the process involves, along with practical guidance to help them navigate decisions and responsibilities during this stage of caregiving. Participants will also have time for questions and discussion. A handout summarizing key information and resources will be provided.


Speaker

Kylie Goldman is a licensed social worker based in Montreal specializing in psychosocial assessments of incapacity and caregiver support. She works with families navigating cognitive decline, mandate homologation, and protective regimes in Quebec, helping caregivers understand complex legal processes while offering practical guidance during challenging transitions.

The workshop will be delivered in English. There will also be a bilingual Q&A after the presentation.

Il offrira un aperçu de l’homologation des mandats, des régimes de protection ainsi que du rôle des professionnels impliqués dans ces processus au Québec.

Les personnes participantes recevront des renseignements clairs et accessibles sur les situations dans lesquelles ces mesures peuvent être nécessaires et sur les étapes à suivre, ainsi que des conseils pratiques pour les aider à prendre les bonnes décisions et assumer leurs responsabilités à cette étape de la proche aidance. Du temps sera également prévu pour les questions et les échanges. Enfin, un document résumant les principales informations et ressources sera remis aux personnes participantes.
