Live Your Best Life is a collaboration between Caroline Brown & Clare Mills providing person centred approaches

  • Put the people you support at the centre of decisions that affect their lives and their dreams.

  • Support individuals, families & teams to achieve amazing things and live full lives?

  • Truly involve individuals / families / teams / pupils & motivate them to take action?

Learn about ways to support individual and group conversations, plan and facilitate person centred plans, service user days, committee meetings, service user reviews, team meetings and team development sessions. Together we discover engaging ways to work with groups and learn how you can transfer the techniques to your day-to-day working.

graphic-training-car-330pxPerson Centred Planning offers a powerful approach. At its heart it recognises that everyone has something to contribute and by using words, drawings and deep listening, person centred planning enables individuals, families & teams not only to participate in their own plans but to achieve amazing things.

We will share with you how to facilitate the person centred processes as well as how to draw the images we use to help people connect better in meetings. You will develop your very own ‘visual vocabulary’ & improve your communication and group work skills. We will have lots of time to practice, grow your confidence and generate ideas that you can take away and use immediately.

This course will support you to:

  • Learn graphic facilitation
  • Develop your facilitation skills
  • Understand and facilitate MAP & PATH process with individuals and groups
  • Build confidence by providing experience of applying person centred approaches
  • Explore techniques by providing a safe space for discussion and reflection

We want to thank and acknowledge Jack Pierport, Lynda Khan, John & Connie O’Brien for creating and developing this approach.

About your trainers

We are experienced, person-centred, trauma informed facilitators with over 60 years experience working across health & social care, education and life coaching. Between us we’ve trained thousands of people. We have a passion for person centred planning and have, over the years, seen great changes when people are supported to participate in their own plan.

Our aim is to enable more people to have a say in how they want their lives to be, and person-centred planning conversations focus around dreams, gifts, contribution, experiences and action planning. Working in a person-centred way empowers the individual to be in control at every stage.

Testimonials

Our team worked with Clare and Caroline, using the PATH tool to help us come together to set the direction for our work. The session was interactive, thought-provoking and challenging, and was guided skilfully by Caroline and Clare. We love the journey artwork from the session and have already used it to engage other colleagues in our work.

The 3-day person centred planning training facilitated by Clare and Caroline is by far the best training I have ever attended. It was practical, helped me discover my own dream, taught me how to use graphics and gave me a new set of skills to use in a creative way with the people I support.

I cannot thank you both enough.

I have had the pleasure of participating in Clare & Caroline’s Person Centred Planning sessions and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Person Centred planning isn’t just a buzz word, it is a very specific and powerful process that challenges the norm and really gets to the heart of what people need. When combined with graphic recording, these sessions are worth every second of your attention. Don’t even dare think that you can’t draw and use this as an excuse to not develop Person centred planning skills! Clare and Caroline’s expert, relaxed and knowledgeable approach make these sessions a learning experience for life and one that I am sure will be transformative for your practice.
