September 2024 Webinar: Person Centered Planning is Social Justice

The National Center for Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) defines person-centered planning as a process, directed by the person with helpers they choose, to learn about the choices and interests that make up a good life and identify the supports (paid and unpaid) needed to achieve it. “Person-centered” is a buzzword in mental health service systems, and it’s common for service plans to be called “person-centered.” However, it’s unclear whether families are truly directing their planning process and choosing supports that really matter to them. In this session, presenters will share best practice in person-centered planning drawing from NCAPPS materials and guidance. We will explore how person-centered planning, when done in alignment with national best practice, can promote human and civil rights and support the wellbeing of youth and families in the community.
