What is Supported
Decision Making?
How do you make Decisions? Do you rely on your own experiences alone? What if you don’t know something? How do you weigh your options or even decide what questions to ask?
Supported Decision Making is a way of making choices and decisions about your own life, with some help from others. This help comes from a team of trusted people that you choose to become your circle of support. The circle of support can include friends, family, mentors, or professionals. They are here to support you!
It’s natural to ask others for advice. The process is the same no matter the decision, although the amount of help someone needs varies by person. Decisions are made by you.
