Person Centred Planning Facilitation Training

This course will give you the experience and skills to facilitate Person Centred Plans for yourself and other people.

You will learn how to use Graphic Facilitation and work with a group of people around a focus person to create a Person Centred Plan.

Our training is based on the planning styles of the people who developed Person Centred Planning in the 1970’s and 1980’s: Jack Pearpoint, Marsha Forest, Judith Snow, Beth Mount, Michael Smull, Lynda Kahn, John and Connie O’Brien; and the later approaches for group planning (Big Plans) developed by Heather Simmons and colleagues at Thistle Foundation.


In the training, you will learn about the different planning styles including:

  • MAP
  • PATH
  • Essential Lifestyle Planning
  • Personal Futures Planning
  • Big Plans

We will also cover common desktop planning tools such as:

  • Working/Not working
  • Good Day/Bad Day
  • One Page Profile
  • Appreciation poster
  • Important to/Important for
  • Communication Map


In the training, you will have a chance to experience your own Person Centred Plan being facilitated so that you can understand how it works and what it feels like to create a plan.
