Person-Centered Planning Training Series 

Please join the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) for a four (4) part series of the Person-Centered Planning (PCP) Process. This training series will thoroughly examine the core principles and values of Person-Centered Planning and equip participants with tools and skills to use with the people they support. The PCP process emphasizes the importance of empowering the person to control their plan.  

This four-part training series includes the following: 

  1. Building a Foundation for Person-Centered Thinking
  2. Initial Assessments and Using Person-Centered Thinking (Phases 1 and 2)
  3. The Planning Meeting: Preparation and Facilitation (Phase 3)
  4. After the Meeting: Identifying Supports and/or Services, SIPs, and 90 Day Reviews/ongoing Getting to Know the Person (Phases 4 and 5)

A recording will be made of each training. After the event, this recording and any accompanying materials will be posted to the OADS website.  

We encourage Case Managers and staff with Provider agencies who work directly with waiver members to attend and participate. Each attendee must register and use their unique link to join the sessions to receive a certificate of attendance. Using another attendee’s unique login link will result in your attendance not being recorded.  

If you require accommodation, such as real-time transcription and captioning (CART), American Sign Language (ASL), or other language interpretation, please contact Miranda Whalen at [email protected] by two weeks prior.
