What is a Person-Centered Planning(PCP) Facilitator?

An individual who has been specially trained to guide persons with disabilities through the PCP process.

What is Person-Centered Planning?

A positive and strength-based process that assists individuals with disabilities to identify the steps needed to make their vision of the future become a reality.

What is the purpose of this training?

To recruit facilitators for the Picture of a LifeProgram. Your participation is free; however, upon completion of the training, you may be asked to complete at least one plan for the Picture of a Life program.

What is the Picture of a Life Program?

This statewide project is a collaborative initiative of the Sonoran UCEDD (University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities) and the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) to improve outcomes for foster youth. This project focuses on young adults with developmental disabilities, age 16-18, who are making their transition into adulthood and aging out of the child welfare system. Through the PCP process and with the help of trained facilitators, young adults and their circle of supports can work together to build a vision for their future. Ultimately, the project will help to improve services for individuals with DD in foster care in Arizona by offering a mechanism for youth to exercise meaningful choice about their living arrangements, work life, social networks and services. Facilitators play a vital role in the program and will work with these young adults with developmental disabilities in foster care to lead and/or actively participate in their own PCP process.

What can I expect from this training?

  • You will gain the skills and knowledge needed to facilitate a person-centered plan
  • You will be able to apply the concepts of Person-Centered Thinking and Planning to all areas of your life –work, home, community
  • You will have the opportunity to enrich the lives of young adults with developmental disabilities and their families
