What does this workshop cover?
People will also learn how they can direct what happens with their plan and supports. In essence, this workshop provides a method that ensures that planning is done in a person directed manner. The plan that is developed during this independent planning workshop can be kept private, shared with family and friends and or shared with service providers as a way to direct supports.
Through a series of activities and exercises, this workshop provides people with an opportunity to think about what is important to them as well as what is important for them in terms of health, safety and being valued in their community. Through this exploration, we then look at what kind of supports the person needs and would like to have in helping them with what matters most to them.
Who is it for?
People who receive supports from a service provider.
People can also choose to invite a family member, friend or support worker to participate. Family members, friends and support workers will participate fully by developing their own One Page Profiles and participating side by side in all activities.
