SUMMARY:HSA USA Planning Live: Person-Centered Planning Facilitator Training
DESCRIPTION:Planning Live is an inclusive and engaging series of conversations that brings the people who are important to a person together\, either in-person or remotely\, to listen to what is important to them and discuss a range of options that result in desired outcomes and a “perfect week” on which to base the planning of the person’s support and\, if applicable\, individual budget. \nPlanning Live draws on skills\, principles and practices from the Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices\, Michael Smull\, John O’Brien\, Beth Mount and Helen Sanderson. Planning Live provides the foundation needed to meet HCBS requirements for person-centered planning and to facilitate person-centered plans with people who are transitioning to the self-determination program. \nPlanning Live aims to help a person\, their family\, friends\, and others who support them to have the best possible chance of creating a plan that is both ambitious and practical\, and importantly\, one that is true to what is important to someone. \n“The Planning Live training has been an invaluable experience\, giving me the tools and knowledge I needed to become an effective Person Centered Planning Facilitator. Additionally\, the training has been a wonderful process of discovery and collaboration\, giving me greater insight into my own life and goals. I highly recommend the training for anyone who is interested in supporting individuals on their path towards a more person-centered life.” – Lisa Szilagyi\, Aurelia Foundation Creative Steps \nWho is this program for? \n\nPlanning Live is great for those who want to develop their own person-centered plan or facilitate the planning process with others.\nHCBS grant recipients looking to build internal capacity for person-centered planning.\nSelf-Determination Local Advisory Committees looking to build the skills of Independent Facilitators in your area to offer person-centered planning.\nExperienced Person-Centered Plan Facilitators wanting to deepen their knowledge and practice.\nPeople who want to coach and train others within their organization.\n\nHow the program works \n\nParticipants can expect to invest approximately 5-6 hours each week\, including course time\, coaching time\, and individual and partner work.\nAs a participant\, you will develop and receive coaching and feedback\nWe will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 9am – 12pm PST and on Thursdays from 10:30am -12:00pm PST\nOrientation session will be on March 26\, 2026 from 9:30am – 10:30am PST\nPlan to spend about 5-6 hours per week to learn and practice.\nWe will use Zoom.\n\nModules are designed to review person-centered approaches and experience the Planning Live process while completing with a partner your own person-centered description\, personal outcomes\, actions\, and needed supports.
