Learn about the LifeCourse Exploring Decision-Making Supports Tool?
The LifeCourse Exploring Decision-Making Supports Tool* helps you explore areas of your life where you may need help with making decisions. The tool below is a way to decide how much support you need for making and communicating decisions. These are no right or wrong answers.
The LifeCourse Exploring Decision-Making Supports Tool* will ask questions about you and your life. For each question, choose the right amount of decision-making support you need. It may be helpful to invite someone you trust or someone in your circle of support to help you complete the tool.
The LifeCourse Exploring Decision-Making Supports Tool* has three levels of decision-making support for each type of decision:
“I can decide with no extra support”
“I need support with my decision”
“I need someone to decide for me”
Your answers can help you determine which level of support best fits your needs. You might need a lot of support for some decisions and no support for others. Everyone’s needs are different.
