Working together to
envision a positive future.

Person-Centered Planning

Person-Centered Planning involves the process of a person, or group, crafting a focused vision of how they picture their future. Person-Centered Planning works to identify a person’s strengths, goals, interests, needs, and dreams. The Person-Centered Planning process can be accomplished using the following planning processes: PATH, MAPS, the Liberty Plan, and Essential Life Planning (ELP).

We offer Person-Centered Planning to all of the people we support at Trillium Services and Trillium Works!, or anyone who is interested. Person-Centered Planning can be used for individuals, groups, companies, schools; or any other group dynamic.

(PATH) Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope

A backwards planning tool leading individuals, families, and organizations from identification of a vision for their future to specify actions to get moving on the journey to that future.

MAPS

The MAPS approach uses process-questions, graphics, and group facilitation to help illustrate a shared future vision through storytelling.

It assists an individual in identifying a clear path to a positive future vision through a focus on their strengths, interests, and dreams.
