North Carolina DHHS Person-Centered Planning Training

This bulletin announces the implementation of person-centered planning training for service providers responsible for developing Person-Centered Plans (PCPs). Person-centered planning is a collaborative planning practice that emphasizes self-determination and choice to help individuals achieve their unique vision of their preferred life.

The training will review core principles and practices of person-centered planning. Participants will receive concrete guidance in both the process and documentation of person-centered planning, as well as practical strategies for ensuring a strengths-based PCP. Hypothetical, case-based examples of quality PCPs will be shared to illustrate key quality elements.

This training will satisfy expectations associated with clinical, accreditation, fiscal regulations, as well as provide guidance on completing the new PCP template.

There are five live virtual training sessions to choose from. The training will be recorded and posted online for future use. This training will be offered free of charge. Live virtual training dates are:
