Nurture Care Services is proud to offer Person Centered Thinking™ (PCT) training! Developed by The Learning Community for Person Centered Practices, Person Centered Thinking is a valuable course that provides its participants the skills they need to think in a way that is truly focused on the person, helping people feel heard and be supported in the ways they desire. In this course, participants work as partners and in groups to expand their skills by learning and practicing the core concepts of Important To, Important For, and the balance in between. Participants will also explore critical skills that help us uncover what is truly meaningful to the person including, Relationship Mapping, Communication Chart, Two Minute Drill, Rituals and Routines, Good Day/Bad Day, What’s Working/What’s Not Working, 4 + 1 Questions, Learning Log, The Donut Sort, and Matching. Using the insights gained from these skills, in collaboration with deeply listening to the person, will help you act on what you learn to support people in a way that is most meaningful to them. By the end of the course, you will have the first draft of your own Person-Centered Description as well as your own One Page Description.

Person Centered Thinking is for everyone! Families, direct support professionals, case managers, assessors, supervisors, Designated Coordinators, Designated Managers, and leaders can all benefit from this course.

The experience of Person Centered Thinking training provides numerous benefits, including increased happiness for the people you support and your employees, greater staff retention, increased job satisfaction, and true community connections.
