Do you feel confident in your skills as a decision supporter? Do you know how to build the decision-making ability of the person you support? If you are unsure about your answers to these questions, then our 2-part series focused on providing decision support is for you!

What is this series about?

We all make decisions, every day. Decision-making is not just about the "big" things, it starts with the "small" things. Learning to make small decisions builds the foundation for a more self-determined life.

Often, decisions are made for people with intellectual disability. However, practicing on low-stake, daily decisions prepares an individual for bigger decisions, life transitions and can assist a person to build their confidence to say "no" to harm or exploitation.

For a family or supporter, this can be deeply personal. It might be about:

• supporting individuals to have more control over everyday decisions

• building your confidence as a supporter so you can accurately interpret preferences, especially when communication is complex

• developing consistent processes to support an individual's decision making, or

• thinking ahead to how decisions will be made when families are no longer able to play the same role.

This 2-part online series is designed to equip you with the practical skills and confidence needed to effectively support others in their daily decision-making.

In this 2-part online workshop, participants will be supported to:

• Identify why supported decision-making is important to them.

• Explore how to build a supportive decision-making environment.

• Creating decision-making opportunities.

• Identify what a good decision-making process looks like for their decision maker.

• Reflect on the influence they are having when supporting decision-making.
