What
is the "Institute for
Person-Centered Services"?
The Institute for Person-Centered Services is an umbrella organization and
a place ( both physical and virtual) which will offer a variety of learning experiences
for certain individuals. Those individuals share the following aim and desire:
to become a catalyst for change in their own work and for those with whom
they work.
This Institute has been established for one main reason:
To
be a catalyst in promoting the development of assessment, treatment and systems
change that keep a person and their needs at the center of our work !
The
words ('client-centered', 'empowerment', 'strengths-based', 'no wrong-door', 'consumer-driven'
& 'customer-focused') often slide easily from our tongues. However walking the
'person-centered' talk is easier said then done.
To
execute this, training is essential. Training via
different vehicles. Training for different skill levels. Training which will convert
our talk and theories into real change within our organizations. Training that
is reinforced. Training that produces lasting results!
The Institute's first
training offering took place July 2003.
It
was a great success!
It
was a "Supervisor- Intensive" training for a small select group of clinical
heads and supervisors, who need their own training on how to supervise more effectively
on the spot- in their own programs. Call and express your interest in Supervisor-Intensives
in the future.
