How to Support Everyday Decision Making

A guide for people assisting others to make decisions in everyday life.

It aims to provide: a framework for understanding the process of supported decision-making; a summary of its aims and principles; and clarity regarding the role and responsibilities of decision supporters.

We suggest readers take their time exploring this guide. Perhaps only reading a section at a time, giving space to reflect on the ideas and go through the exercises in the workbook. You may like to keep a journal or write down your thoughts and ideas in a notebook.

In addition, you may find it useful to explore the other resources about supported decision-making in Part 8 of the guide.
