DSP Essentials: Supporting Decision-Making – Tools for Everyday Empowerment

Welcome,

We’re so glad you’re here! In this course, we’ll dive into practical tools and strategies to help people confidently make their own decisions in everyday life.

We will cover the basics of supporting decision-making, giving you a strong foundation to build on. We’ll explore how to respect and honor individual choices while balancing the right to make decisions with the support they may need—even when those choices come with some risk. You’ll discover ways to assess and manage risks while fostering independence and autonomy.

As we move through the course, you’ll take part in interactive exercises that bring these ideas to life, helping you apply them in real-world situations. Together, we’ll focus on promoting independence, building confidence in decision-making, and creating a space where people feel truly empowered to take the lead in their own lives.

Let’s get started!
