CREATIVE FACILITATION is a three-day workshop that introduces participants to the PATH and MAPS approach to person-centered planning. Participants will be provided with an introduction to the foundations of facilitation, including listening, graphics, values and the role of circles of support. Participants will also have opportunities to practice their facilitation skills through demonstrations and small group practice.

PATH will engage the person you support to think backwards from future possibilities and use storytelling to create a vision of how the possibilities may be realized.

MAPS asks the person to share stories that reveal their gifts. Together, we explore the ways these gifts can be embraced in the community
