Supported decision-making isn’t about taking control—it’s about sharing it. This approach helps people with disabilities stay involved in their own decisions, with guidance instead of restriction.

Everyone deserves the dignity of choice. A rights-based approach to supported decision-making isn't about taking over.

This strengthens personal agency and fosters collaboration with mental health professionals—making informed choices accessible to all.

Poster the University of Galway and Research Ireland logos. The poster has a series of questions with pictures beside each answer. The text reads. Young people who are non-speaking, sometimes speaking or communicate differently and research on the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act. Who can take part? Young people who are non-speaking, sometimes speaking or communicate differently aged from 16 to 35 years and their supporters can take part. They should have made or be getting ready to make a support agreement under the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. What will people taking part have to do? People taking part in this research will have to tell Clíona things like who helps them to make decisions, what role under the new law they picked, what was easy or hard about learning about it or getting it set up. How can I find out more? Contact Clíona at cliona.debhailis@universityofgalway.ie or 0860081153

I’m an adult with autism. I built a team to help me make decisions
Supported decision-making or SDM is an alternative to adult guardianship for people with a cognitive or intellectual disability, writes Jonathan Gardner. With SDM, I’m the CEO of my life. Rather than taking decisions away from people like me, SDM allows us to use supporters to help us make and communicate our own decisions.

Can we ever move beyond 'substitute decision-making' in mental health?

Can there ever be a place for #capacity assessments or involuntary treatment within a #supporteddecisionmaking-based system?

What insights can be provided through lived experience of psychosis?
