Training is held on Wednesdays 10:00 to 12:00 (am session) and 5:00 to 7:00 (pm session)

Person-centered planning helps people talk about their dreams and goals. It helps you think about what a good life means for you.

In 2014, the government made a new rule. It said everyone who gets services must have a person-centered plan.  Many people are not ready to talk about what a good life means to them at their ISA meetings. It’s hard to talk about your dreams when you aren’t ready!

This training will help self-advocates:

  1. Get ready for their planning meeting
  2. Think about what a good life means for them
  3. Invite more people to come to their meeting
  4. Get ready to lead their own meeting
  5. Be a mentor for other self-advocates who want help at their meetings.
