Supportive Decision-Making

Supportive Decision-Making is an approach that helps individuals make informed choices by encouraging collaboration and providing necessary assistance while respecting their autonomy. It involves creating a supportive environment where trusted individuals—like family, friends, or professionals—offer guidance, share information, and facilitate discussions. The goal is to empower the person to make decisions that reflect their own values and preferences, rather than making decisions for them. This method is especially helpful for those who may find complex choices challenging, ensuring they remain at the center of the decision-making process.
