Support for Decision Making
How it works
The support we provide
Every person has the right to make decisions, and every person has the right to access support to make decisions.
Providing support for decision making is a crucial part of all advocacy support that PASAT provides. Support for Decision Making is also a stand alone and funded service offered to participants in the Mana Whaikaha and Enabling Good Lives disability system transformation sites.
A Supporter will meet with the person to build rapport and understand their decision making needs. The support delivered will include:
-
Supporting through each of the steps of decision making for a particular decision
-
Documenting the supported decision making process
-
Practising decision making skills
-
Identifying other potential supporters
PASAT can also deliver workshops and training for disabled people's organisations, disability support providers, community groups on Supported Decision Making principles and approaches.
What it costs
This is a free service offered in:

How to access support
