Incredible event today with Simon Siebert and Four Rivers Health Center! Very motivational, and very educational. Key takeaways: (1) Beginning to end, the process of expungement is 60 days. (2) The process IS NOT complicated. It can be slightly tedious, but it is not complicated. (3) Legal Services of Southern Missouri (LSSM) provides FREE legal services for this process.

Thursday #TipsOfTheDay ✅ What is a Living Will❓🤔 A living will in Florida is a legal document ⚖️ that allows individuals to outline their preferences for medical treatment if they become incapacitated and unable to communicate their wishes. Under Florida law, a living will specifies the types of medical care 🏥 one does or does not want, such as life-prolonging procedures, in situations like terminal illness, persistent vegetative state, or end-stage condition. It must be signed ✍️ by the individual and witnessed by 2️⃣ people, one of whom cannot ❌ be a spouse or blood relative, ensuring that the individual's health care preferences are honored when they cannot speak for themselves. Talk to an #estateplanning attorney if you have questions 👍 . Knowledge💡 = Power 💪 #estateplanning #estateplanningtips #wills #trusts #legacyplanning

In 2017, we found out that our 1 year old had extremely high levels of lead in his blood. At the time, the 'action level' was 10 and he was at 25. Over the next couple of months, we learned a lot about the dangers of lead exposure. We were fortunate to be able to move out of the apartment we were in, but I kept thinking to myself: what about the families who don't have that ability? Coincidentally, there was already a bill at the state house, SB247, that would strenghten the lead laws in NH. Once we were settled, my partner and I did some advocacy work for the bill and to raise awareness in general. I did the writing and my partner did the public speaking. But one day, we were asked to speak at a Governor's press conference and my partner wasn't available. SO I DID IT. This photo is from that day! Anyway, SB 247 was enacted in 2018 and brought several changes to the state’s lead law, including the addition of RSA 130-A:5-d, which recently went into effect on July 1, 2024. This section of the law mandates a Lead-Safe Certificate issued by a licensed NH Risk Assessor for NH properties that were built before 1978 and newly converted into rental housing after July 1, 2024. More specifics about the law can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e5qd6jAb So many homes in NH were built before the 1978 outlawing of lead paint. And so many people don't realize that it's still a real issue. It's not just about peeling paint - lead paint dust is created where there are abrasions, like doors and windows opening and closing. That dust is very fine and covers everything without you even realizing. When you have babies - they put everything in their mouths, therefore ingesting it. Children 6 and under are most at risk for the adverse effects of lead because their brains are still developing and lead can cause permanent issues. So in addition to being aware of lead paint exposure, make sure to have your children tested for lead levels in their blood at their annual wellness visit. PS: My baby is now almost 8 years old, and he's doing great!

Change to how inspections are carried out in England is now inevitable and unavoidable. We need to work towards a more humane and fair system as quickly as possible. That work cannot be carried out in isolation by the inspectorate. It must be carried out in partnership with the profession, and we stand ready to play our part in building a fairer, more humane inspection system. https://bit.ly/3TazJR5

The tragic case of Terry Schavio and the right to die. Most of you are too young to remember this epic legal case that started in 1998. Terry Schiavo, a 26-year-old woman from Florida, collapsed from cardiac arrest in 1990, leaving her in a persistent vegetative state. She was kept alive by a feeding tube. In 1998 her husband, Michael Schiavo, petitioned the courts to remove her feeding tube arguing that Terri has previously expressed wishes not to be kept alive in such a state. Terri’s parents, disagreed. They believed she might recover and removing the tube would starve her to death. Over the next 7 years, a legal battle was waged in both the state and federal courts. Initally, the state court sided with Michael, and the feeding tube was removed. Very shortly therafter, a legal intervention had the tube replaced.  Over the years, the feeding tube was removed and replaced multiple times. Congress passed a law allowing federal courts to review of the case. However, the Federal Court declined to review and sent it back to state court. On March 18, 2005 the feeding tube was removed a final time and Terri passed away on March 31, 2005. This historic case highlighted the debate on medical ethics and the right to die. This case called attention to the importance of having clear health care directives that specify an individual's treatment preferences if they become incapacitated. It underscores the need for health care directives not only for yourself but also for your parents and even your children. The health care directive is a part of the Death Book I created. I am hosting a workshop on the Death Book, what it is, why its important and how to put all the pieces together. October 29 – 12:00 – 1:00pm. Online. The link to register is below. https://lnkd.in/gbadsDSw Once registered you will receive the ingredients of the book and an invite to the workshop. Now is the time to get it done.

If you have a loved one who has been Baker and you draft a Healthcare proxy after the fact, you’re wasting precious time and resources and in all likelihood it’s going to do nothing but make it more likely that your love is going to get stuck for a significant period time. If your loved one has detained by the State of Florida, you must fight hard, fight quickly, and find a lawyer who knows the Baker Act. #bakeract #bakeracted #mentalhealth #mentalillness #habeascorpus #healthcareproxy #release https://lnkd.in/ePArHVCP
