Description

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.   Guests: Jordan Anderson, Self-Advocate & Youth Ambassador ParticipantLinkedInHezzy Smith, Director of Advocacy Initiatives at Harvard Law School Project on Disability LinkedInTwitter - @HLSPod Facebook - Harvard Law School Project on Disability | Hezzy SmithTom Masseau, Executive Director of Disability Rights Arkansas Helpful Links:Guardianship: Rights, Remedies, and Responsibilities WebinarGuardianship Resource BookletYouth Ambassador Website Connect with an Advocacy Group - The Arkansas Alliance for Disability AdvocacySupport the showContact DRA Subscribe to our newsletter Stay connected Show your support Email us at info@disabilityrightsar.org Thanks for listening!
