Person-Centered Planning

Person-Centered Planning involves the process of a person, or group, crafting a focused vision of how they picture their future. Person-Centered Planning works to identify a person’s strengths, goals, interests, needs, and dreams. The Person-Centered Planning process can be accomplished using the following planning processes: PATH, MAPS, the Liberty Plan, and Essential Life Planning (ELP).

We offer Person-Centered Planning to all of the people we support at Trillium Services and Trillium Works!, or anyone who is interested. Person-Centered Planning can be used for individuals, groups, companies, schools; or any other group dynamic.
