Day Two Report From The Alaska Brain Injury Conference
Day two of the Alaska Brain Injury program was devoted to workshops on specific topics. My topic was guardianship and other legal rights of traumatic brain injury survivors and their families. Because we had such a diverse population of attendees (both those from Alaska and others from the lower 49 states), the workshop was general to guardianship law and also then specific to Alaskans. The workshop discussed issues such as when should a guardian be appointed, what are the ramifications of that, what are the duties of a guardian and finally how does one become appointed? We had a very lively session that everyone enjoyed.
