New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities Selects Disability Rights Center-NH to promote the use of Supported Decision-Making as an Alternative to Guardianship, Harbor Care to Help the Community Combat COVID-19
The New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities is pleased to announce that Disability Rights Center-NH has been selected as the recipient of the grant for promoting and advocating for the use of supported decision-making as an alternative to guardianship for individuals with developmental and other disabilities.
This grant is given to increase awareness of guardianship alternatives among the judiciary, New Hampshire Bar, service providers and families. It will aid in integrating supported decision making into New Hampshire’s system of service delivery and planning for people with disabilities and older adults.
Stephanie Patrick, Executive Director of DRC-NH, states, “We are excited to expand the use of supported decision-making across New Hampshire by providing support and information to people with disabilities, family members, and others as they navigate the development of supported decision-making agreements.
These agreements are critical to protecting the rights of people with disabilities to control their own lives and make their own decisions. We thank the NH Council on Developmental Disabilities for supporting this project.”
