Planning Live is a fun, engaging, high energy way to bring people together to collectively create a plan to help a person live the life they want to live, with the focus on the individual and their strengths, dreams and goal.

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.

As a Planning Live facilitator you can support those who use long term services and supports to develop innovative and unique plans while providing a clear understanding of any supports needed from all parties involved in a person’s life.

How Planning Live will help people thrive:

  • Gives people an opportunity to bring everyone around them together to work as a team towards their individual goals and aspirations
  • Can be delivered for multiple people at once, enabling cross-pollination of ideas and energy
  • Is structured to move from innovation and ideas through to clear actions and plans that make them a reality
  • Provides guidance for those who want to develop their own person-centered plan or facilitate the planning process with others
