The Office of Public Guardian, Inc. , (OPG) serves adults with mental and/or physical disabilities as their court-appointed legal guardian when they are incapable of managing some or all of their affairs. The Office of Public Guardian, Inc. was established to act as a substitute decision-maker for those persons in the big bend area who are functionally impaired to the extent that they require the protection of court intervention. The OPG provides quality public assistance in the form of guardianship services to vulnerable adults adjudicated incapacitated who have no family, friends, or resources to obtain a private guardian. Through the provision of public guardianship services and under the direction of the court, the OPG strives to: enhance quality of life, employ “substituted judgment,” acting as the person would have when making decisions in their best interests, protect against abuse, neglect and exploitation, and safeguard and exercise the fundamental civil rights of the people we serve guardianship is a serious step! Just because the person has a disability does not mean he or she needs a guardian. Guardianship is inappropriate if there are other alternatives such as a durable power of attorney, medical proxy, public benefits’ representative, etc.

MISSION To restore hope, health, and healing to the sexually exploited, while serving, equipping, and protecting those who may be exploited simply as a result of their circumstances. CHARITY DESCRIPTION Restored to Dream is a Christian, faith-based nonprofit. We are dedicated to the rehabilitation of the sexually exploited and preemptively engage those who are statistically at-risk based on their domestic and environmental conditions.

Our services are offered at no cost to participants and include a 4-phase Program conducted over 18 months, with an optional 5th Phase on Leadership. Program courses include Therapeutic Arts and various Life skills that are tailored to children, teens, and adults. Participant success is measured through the Arizona Self-Sufficiency Matrix, as well as additional customized assessments. We recognize the journey to healing is a long and difficult road.

The remaining 10% of our efforts are focused on active rescues initiated through Law Enforcement and community agencies. Post rescue, we evaluate and determine Program readiness and the appropriate combination of services required, which may include referrals to partner and sister organizations.
