The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS) is implementing this DHHS-approved Person-Centered Planning (PCP) interactive training that will provide concrete strategies to support the implementation of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Person-Centered Planning Guidance Document.
During this in-person training, participants will be exposed to a wide variety of engagement and strengths-based interviewing tools and have an opportunity to practice using them to gather critical information to inform the Person-Centered Plan. A combination of interactive exercises (including video illustrations and role plays) will be used to demonstrate, and allow participants to practice, person-centered planning conversations that adhere to critical PCP processes that reflect the importance of hope, autonomy, community inclusion, and strengths-based care. With these processes as a foundation, the training will also provide concrete coaching, and an opportunity to practice, how to translate authentic person-centered meeting conversations into formal person-centered plan documentation in alignment with North Carolina PCP Guidance. Simple take-home resources will be provided to inform participants’ ongoing PCP efforts |
