Securing the Good Life: Developing Safeguards for people we care about.

A CRU webinar series with Dr Michael Kendrick

To be human is to be vulnerable. However, people with disability often live with greater vulnerability than others do. In an attempt to keep people safe it is possible to limit their lives by being over-protective and so worried about risk that they have little chance of experiencing the good things in life.
Intentional safeguards can assist to minimise or make up for these vulnerabilities.
Presented over a series of two webinars, Dr Michael Kendrick and families who have developed safeguards and planned for succession will share their insights. There will be a live Q&A with Dr Kendrick during webinar 2 for your questions about vulnerability, safeguarding and planning for the future.

Webinar 2: Securing the Good Life: Succession & Planning for the Future

Thursday 26th November 2020 | 7:00 - 9:00pm (Brisbane, AEST)

This webinar will examine what is worth safeguarding in the long term, and how we can best ensure a good life for a person with disability continues into the future.

It will include a family sharing their experiences, a pre-recorded presentation by Michael and a live Q&A session with him.
