Webinar 12/17:
Finding The Balance: Person-Centered Supports That Honor Both Safety and
Dignity of Risk
Person-centered supports must ensure that people have
opportunities to make informed choices and to be supported in managing the
risks that come with those decisions. Direct support providers have a role
in helping people to live lives of their choosing and often face the
challenge of balancing the individual’s choice with the provider's ‘duty of
care’. The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and
Systems (NCAPPS) presents a webinar on finding the balance.
Participants in this webinar will:
- Hear from people with
disabilities about their experience in planning, navigating concerns
about well-being, and seeking the ‘dignity of risk’;
- Learn from direct support
providers about the requirements, challenges, and successes of the
delivery of quality person-centered supports in a way that considers
health and safety while honoring a person's right to make decisions
that may not always be in their best interest; and
- Understand what training is
available for direct support providers that will equip them with the
skills and strategies to help manage health and safety concerns in a
person-centered way.
NCAPPS assists states, tribes, and territories to transform
their long-term care service and support systems to implement U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services policy on person-centered thinking,
planning, and practices. It supports a range of person-centered thinking,
planning, and practices, regardless of funding source. Activities
include providing technical assistance to states, tribes, and territories;
establishing communities of practice to promote best practices; hosting
educational webinars; and creating a national clearinghouse of resources to
support person-centered practice. Visit the NCAPPS website for more information.
