In Part Two of our Guardianship Series, we talk about Supported Decision Making. Supported decisionmaking (SDM) is a unique and empowering process for helping a young adult without taking away legal rights in court. It is gradually becoming recognized worldwide so that a young adult’s SDM team can have access to information previously provided only to legal guardians.

So, how does a young adult or family decide if SDM is right for them? If a guardianship is in place, is it possible to use SDM in addition? And could successful SDM signal a need to end a legal guardianship?

In this program, we will answer common questions about choosing and using supported decisionmaking.
