Support-Girona informs the general population about legal and social support by offering talks upon request. The most common topics are legal assistance as well as social support and how these are put into practice, the new paradigm of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the reform of legal capacity 2021, the support mechanisms for the person, the activities of the organisation, future forecasts, and mechanisms such as protected heritage property or any issue related to legal and social support for persons with disabilities and their rights in accordance with CRPD.
Support-Girona offers counselling to organisations or institutions with specialists who directly or indirectly interact with disabled people (such as public administration, social services and mental health centres, hospital units, centres for the care of disabled persons, social clubs, residential homes, etc). It does so by offering dissemination talks, participating in local, national, and international meetings and seminars, presenting papers, and organising conferences.
Currently, the most discussed topic is the paradigm of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) regarding the legal and social support as well as the impact resulting from the reform on legal capacity both at national and Catalan levels, which has been in force since September 3, 2021.
Support-Girona offers counselling to people interested in learning more about legal capacity support for themselves or their loved ones. This counselling may or may not generate legal proceedings or notary procedures to establish the support (which are never initiated by Support-Girona) and/or case files of the service for future support.
