  • Mental Capacity Explained: How to Assess, Support, and Advocate for Better Decision-Making

    Mental Capacity Explained: How to Assess, Support, and Advocate for Better Decision-Making
    2025/02/18
    In this episode of Able to Care, Andy Baker is joined by Tim Farmer, a multi-award-winning mental capacity expert, author of Grandpa on a Skateboard, and co-founder of Comentis. With over 24 years of experience as a mental health nurse and more than 3,500 mental capacity assessments conducted, Tim brings deep insights into how we assess and understand decision-making abilities. This conversation explores the complexities of mental capacity, common misconceptions, and the importance of getting assessments right. Whether you’re a carer, a healthcare professional, or someone keen to understand mental capacity law better, this episode provides essential knowledge on supporting decision-making with empathy and accuracy.

Resources Mentioned 📖 Grandpa on a Skateboard – Book 🌍 Comentis – Mental capacity assessment tools and support 📚 The Mental Capacity Act 2005 – Official UK Government Legislation 🎧 Able Hub – Online courses and resources for carers Key Messages from This Episode 🧠 Mental capacity is decision-specific – A person may have the ability to make one decision but not another. Capacity must always be assessed in context. ⚖ Unwise decisions don’t equal incapacity – People have the right to make choices that others may see as risky or unwise; the key is whether they can understand and weigh the information. 💬 Good assessments require a holistic approach – Diagnosis alone doesn’t determine capacity. Communication style, emotional state, and environmental factors all play a role.

Whether you're a caregiver, teacher, parent, or leader, this skill can help you support others while creating a more positive and open dialogue.

    🎯 What You’ll Learn:~ ✅ What verbal attending is and why it’s so effective ✅ How neutral observations help de-escalate difficult situations ✅ The importance of curiosity over judgment in communication ✅ Real-life examples of I notice statements in action ✅ How this tool benefits individuals with trauma, neurodiversity, dementia, and emotional regulation difficulties
