Supported decision-making training

Trying to determine whether to pursue legal guardianship of loved one can be one of the most difficult decisions families and caregivers may have to make in their life. Families and caregivers have to take into consideration how much independence and responsibilities their loved ones can handle while ensuring that they are reasonably safe from harm from themselves or others. To make matters more difficult, these decisions are often made without having accurate information about guardianship or the availability of alternatives to legal guardianship.

Arizona’s Developmental Disabilities Planning Council funds the Supported Decision-Making Project. The goal of the project is to increase the use of supported decision-making as a less restrictive alternative to legal guardianship among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as the aging population. To achieve this goal, The Arc of Arizona, and Arizona Center for Disability Law, are continuing to work together to develop and implement curriculum educating the public about supported decision-making.
