Free Guardian Advocate Workshop

3:30 to 5 p.m. in Conference Room 103 in City Hall, 22 S. Beach St. Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida has partnered with the City of Ormond Beach to offer free quarterly workshops to interested individuals. The next quarterly workshop topic is the guardian advocate. The purpose of the advocacy is to work with parents of disabled minors (which must have one of the following disabilities and be diagnosed before the child turns 18 years old-retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, spina bifida, or Prader-Willi syndrome), so they can continue to act on the behalf of the minor without having to have the individual declared as incompetent. During each workshop, a specific legal topic will be presented by a pro bono attorney.  After the presentation, individuals can get their generic questions answered. If attendees wish to meet one-on-one with a pro bono attorney regarding their specific situation, they will need to indicate so on the sign-in sheet upon their arrival and they will be contacted at a later date, by phone, to have an intake completed to establish eligibility for services. Intakes will not be completed at the quarterly workshops.
