Life is about informed decisions. The question is - whose life is affected by those decisions? Whose rights are stripped?

In this episode, we are diving deeper into alternatives to guardianship, more specifically, supported decision-making. Today we are joined by self-advocate Jordan Anderson, whose entire life was uniquely impacted by an overnight decision to support his rights. We are also joined by Hezzy Smith, Director of Advocacy Initiatives at the Harvard Law School Project on Disability and proud sibling.
