1:00 PM - 2:30 PM, ET

Get expert coaching and access tools that support the development of person-centered plan documentation aligned with the North Carolina Person-Centered Planning (NC PCP) Guidance document.

In keeping with this belief, a person-centered plan should be organized around a quality long-term goal statement that reflects a person’s most deeply held values and preferences around building a good life. Yet planning documentation often targets the narrow management of disability related symptoms or functional impairments without broader attention to the person’s quality of life as a whole. This training will provide coaching and tools to address this issue and support the development of person-centered plan documentation in alignment with the NC PCP Guidance document.

During this virtual webinar participants will:

learn strategies for overcoming common barriers to person-centered “goal setting.”
be exposed to a wide variety of engagement and goal discovery tools.
receive concrete coaching and examples around how to translate authentic person-centered conversations into quality long-term goals and rigorously documented short-term goals.
practice creating goal statements that support a person’s connection to the valued community activities and relationships that matter most to them.

The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) credit application is pending for this training and details will be provided as they are available. Please review important Certification Requirements before registering.

This training is designed for direct support providers and organizational leaders working in the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS ) system of care.
