Capacity Conversations: Your Thoughts or Mine is a podcast about capacity and decision-making in Canada, presented by the Capacity Clinic. Each day, Canadian professionals face growing numbers of vulnerable adults or their substitute decision makers, stressing historical practices for assuring capacity when important decisions are being made. The pandemic has given us a glimpse of the future where the numbers of elderly clients, their mobility considerations, and the need for professional diligence in determining capacity are all growing. Issues requiring legal and clinical support arise frequently, and that’s where we come in. At Capacity Clinic, our mission is to improve supported decision-making and capacity evaluation. We do this by creating Canadian expertise and intellectual property, designing and developing educational programming, and supplying individual consultations from leading experts. We are also proud to have developed a best practices model for the use of video conferencing in capacity assessment. In this podcast, we’ll dive into all aspects of capacity and decision-making so that you know what to do if you’re working with, know, or are someone in need of a capacity evaluation.
