Webinar

The focus of this second TBI Tuesday session will be Sustainable Partnerships. The session will feature several TBI State Partnership Program (SPP) grantees (Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Tennessee) who will share the work of the Sustainable Partnership SPP Workgroup, including two workgroup products (Success Story and Tip Sheet). ACL will also discuss how to build capacity to better serve people with TBI through partnerships within and between states.

The Academy’s 33rd annual policy conference will be held virtually on March 2 – 4, 2021. Participants in Pathways to Economic Security: Bringing All Voices to the Table will unpack the latest policy proposals being discussed by federal and state officials, as well as policies that could be elevated further, such as universal basic income, a refundable child tax credit, and federalizing unemployment insurance.

Our nation has a new Administration, a new Congress, and an ongoing health and economic crisis. Now is the time for bold policy action. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the systemic disparities that leave too many Americans behind without the resources to age with dignity. 2021 offers a unique opportunity to address these inequities through public policy.

The webinar will discuss the differences between public and private guardianship in Virginia, as well as the fundamentals of the legal process for appointing a guardian. As part of this discussion Patti will highlight some of the protections the law provides to individuals who are the subject of a legal proceeding for the appointment of a guardian.

People living with dementia are at a higher risk for institutionalization. For those who live alone, the risk is even greater. Community based supports and services can help people age in place for as long, and as safely as possible. In this presentation, case studies will show how complex chronic care management bridges medical and social care services for at risk populations, and specifically, for people living alone with dementia who have limited resources.
