Person-Centered Approaches to Healthcare Decision Making

Person-Centered Approaches to Health Care Decision Making is a practical program for facilitators and planners who work with people with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities.

Person-Centered Approaches to Health Care Decision Making brings organization leaders, care coordinators, planners, and facilitators together to learn about supporting people to make healthcare decisions and practice ways to start conversations about future care planning and care at end of life.

When we normalize conversations about future wishes, as well as care and support needs, we become better advocates and we live knowing we have taken measures to honor another person’s wishes when they are unable to make decisions for themselves.

I feel ready to dive into these difficult and sensitive conversations with people. I did not feel ready to dive into these conversations before this program!
I think this would be a valuable class for anyone and everyone who has the desire and opportunity. I thought it was presented in such a thoughtful way.
Everything was great! I like that we were challenged each week to think outside of the box and our comfort zones.
