Project Description:

Increased Understanding and Awareness of Supported Decision Making Since 2016, CEDD staff have collaborated with the ACLU, DRC, UC San Francisco, Disability Voices United and other leaders in the development and adoption of supported decision-making in CA. The CEDD administered a 2-year WITH Foundation grant that created a series of videos on supported decision-making, curated a toolbox of resources, and provided trainings throughout CA on the overuse of conservatorships and strategies for implementing supported decision-making for people able to communicate their preferences. CEDD continues to maintain a supported decision-making web page, provide trainings, and support initiatives related to supported decision-making.
