“We are pleased and proud to report that QT has received a grant from the federal Administration on Community Living to operate the National Resource Center for Supported Decision-Making. The National Resource Center is dedicated to protecting EVERYONE’s Right to Make Choices: the principal prerogative we ALL have to express our own preferences, make our own decisions, and direct our own lives, free from overbroad or undue guardianship. We will work with people with disabilities, older adults, professionals, providers, advocates, and government agencies to reform guardianship law, policy, and practice to make Supported Decision-Making a universally accepted and used alternative to guardianship.
Our website, www.SupportedDecisionMaking.Org has user-friendly educational material, resources, research articles, videos, and stories to help people learn about and exercise their Right to Make Choices. We have also created Supported Decision-Making Interactive! a dedicated listserv where people can communicate with people across the nation and around the world to ask and answer questions, share stories, and comment on important issues. Please check us out and like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nrcsdm.”
