The Center for Public Representation partnered on a training initiative with the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association in Lowell, Massachusetts in 2025. The initiative resulted in a series of three hybrid (virtual and in-person) workshops that provided education on Supported Decision-Making. Each focused on a different life area – education, health care, and finances. This is the English version of the PowerPoint we used during the first session, entitled “Supported Decision-Making in Education.” The Khmer version is available here.
