Updates from the
National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems
- Technical
Assistance - NCAPPS
selected 15 states for the first cohort to receive
technical assistance. Technical assistance recipients
work with national subject matter experts toward individualized goals
focused on systems change to ensure the person is at the center of
service organization and delivery.
- Learning
Collaboratives
- The Learning Collaborative activities
will bring together “teams” from states, territories, and tribal
government human services agencies to promote broad peer-to-peer
learning and local improvement efforts.
- PAL-Group
Coordinator -
Nicole LeBlanc will be joining the NCAPPS team as our Person-Centered
Advisory and Leadership Group (PAL-Group) coordinator. Nicole is a
self-advocate with deep experience in public policy. She’ll help to
ensure that the PAL-Group informs and supports the direction of the
efforts of NCAPPS. In addition to supporting communication with the
PAL Group, Nicole will help with the development of cognitively
accessible project materials and resources that reflect the
experiences of people with disabilities. Read more about Nicole here.
- Webinars – Each month beginning in July, NCAPPS will host
monthly informational webinars on a range of topics that relate to
person-centered thinking, planning, and practice. NCAPPS webinars are
open to the public, and are geared toward human services
administrators, providers, and people who use long-term services and
supports. Webinars will be recorded and archived on the NCAPPS website. All webinars will
include a panelist who represents the perspective of service users,
including our Person-Centered Advisory and Leadership Group members,
self-advocates, or other stakeholders with lived experience with the
topic. View a tentative schedule of NCAPPS webinars.
