MAPs

MAPs are a planning tool that you can use to help individuals, organizations and families to figure out how to move into the future effectively and creatively.

They were first used as a tool for helping disabled children to integrate into mainstream schools, but they are now used more widely in person-centered planning with children and adults.

How you can use this to support people to thrive

You can use the MAPs process to:

Help people to find their way through unknown territory
Help people think about where they are now and where they need to go
To think about their past and how it might influence their future
To share their dreams and aspirations
To share their fears about the future and how to mitigate them
To build on their gifts, strengths and talents to decide a way forward
To set clear actions and responsibilities for moving forward towards the planned destination

How we would deliver MAPs

We usually facilitate the MAPs process in a 2-3 hour session with the person who is exploring their future and other people in their life. You can also integrate it as part of a wider program of support and person-centered planning. Contact Mary Beth to find out more about what might be right for you.
