We'll be back with new episodes in April, so until then we'll be releasing encore presentations of several early episodes that still ring true today.

This month, we present our fifth episode, titled Supported Decision-Making. This episode was originally published on December 15, 2016, and supported decision-making, or SDM for short, is now going strong in Florida and many other parts of the US. Our guest for this episode, Michael Lincoln-McCreight, is currently the co-chair of the SDM4FL Coalition (and you can hear more from him in Episode 24: SDM4FL in 2021).

As always, more work needs to be done to make SDM the preferred option in Florida over more restrictive options such as guardianship. Michael and others are currently working to formalize SDM into Florida law, so please enjoy this encore episode of You First.
