Supported Decision Making, Guardianship, and APS: What’s Choice Got to Do With It?
Source: APS Technical Assistance Resource Center
Published: 2019
Summary:
There are no studies proving people are safer under guardianship, but many show the benefits of self-determination in avoiding and reducing maltreatment of vulnerable adults. Supported Decision Making recognizes that all people need help in making decisions; this session will discuss approaches that APS workers can use to address vulnerabilities while supporting a person’s decision making, reducing unnecessary guardianships.
