Self-Determination

Self-determination is not a new program, rather an evolving process and set of principles that supports people with disabilities in having control of their lives. It supports people’s rights as citizens to control their resources so they can make their own choices, be part of their community, and have meaningful relationships. Self-determination is another way of saying freedom. It is a basic human right. Self-determination provides people who receive developmental disability and mental health services control for the resources needed for support, freedom of choice and the responsibility for their decisions and actions.

SCCMHA is actively incorporating the principles and process of self-determination into all programs and services.
