Guardianship Monitoring and Support Initiative

Our Mission and Vision

The GMSI envisions a future where guardians have the oversight, support, and guidance needed to ensure the safety and well-being of adults subject to guardianship. The GMSI is an initiative to assist courts in mitigating risks of mistreatment, neglect, and exploitation, and to protect vulnerable adults subject to guardianship and conservatorship.

Strategic Objectives

The GMSI has three main objectives which seek to support the courts and guardians, and protect vulnerable people from risk of harm. Those objectives are:

1. To provide the courts information that verifies the location of an adult subject to guardianship; confirms the physical, emotional and financial well-being of adults subject to guardianship; and supports the court's determination regarding the continued appropriateness of guardianships or the option for less restrictive alternatives.


2. To strengthen the integrity and reliability of guardianship data and increase the court's capacity to track and monitor guardianships cases.


3. To engage with lay guardians to enhance their knowledge of court rules and processes and improve their understanding of the duties and powers entrusted to them by the court.
