Course Description:
A Futures Plan is an opportunity for people
to come together and share ideas about one person’s capacity
to enjoy a good quality of life and to make plans so that the
person can do this. The emphasis is on facilitating an appreciation
of the person, on sharing a common dream of the future, on creative
problem solving and on harnessing the natural supports that the
person’s dream can become a reality. The approach is different
from, but complimentary to many traditional Individual Programme
Planning Methods.

The training course in Positive Futures Planning consists of
three one-day modules, with interim practical assignments.
