About Us
Every decision a guardian makes carries weight — for the person under their care, for the family, and for the court that granted them that trust. GuardianshipProtocol was built to help professional guardians meet that responsibility with clarity and confidence.
Our courses are developed and delivered by Direct Care Training & Resource Center, Inc. (DCTRC), a 35-year leader in workforce training for the direct care and long-term care fields. We focus exclusively on the areas where guardians face the hardest calls: informed consent, end-of-life decisions, capacity and competency, medical ethics, and the standards that define professional, ethical guardianship practice.

Why Guardianship Protocol
Purpose-Built for Guardians
Not generic CEU content repackaged for a new audience. Every course is written specifically around the legal, ethical, and healthcare decisions guardians face daily.
Grounded in Real Practice
Course content draws on real case scenarios in medical decision-making, informed consent, and guardian-physician communication — not abstract theory.
CEU-Approved
Courses are structured to meet continuing education requirements for professional guardians, so your hours count toward the credentials you already hold.
Backed by 35 Years in Direct Care Training
DCTRC has trained direct care professionals, administrators, and healthcare providers across Michigan and beyond for over three decades. Guardianship training is a natural extension of that mission.

FEATURED COURSE
Ethical Medical Decision -Making for Guardians
A CEU course built around the real questions guardians face when a ward’s health, treatment, or end-of-life care is on the line: How do you weigh a physician’s recommendation against a ward’s known wishes? What does informed consent really require? Where does substituted judgment end and guardian overreach begin?
Available as a self-paced online course or as a live in-person CEU event for guardians who want direct discussion and Q&A with course faculty.
Our Commitment
(5/5)
We built this platform because guardians are making some of the highest-stakes decisions in healthcare and elder services, often with too little support. Our job is to close that gap.
Professionalism. Integrity. Accountability.
Guardianship is a position of trust, and the people who hold it deserve training equal to that responsibility. GuardianshipProtocol and DCTRC are committed to.
– Course content that reflects current ethical standards and best practice, not outdated assumptions.
– Clear, practical instruction guardians can apply the same day they take it.
Honest treatment of difficult topics — capacity, end-of-life care, family conflict — without oversimplifying them.
– Supporting guardians in meeting their CEU requirements without cutting corners on quality.
