Addressing Complex Issues in Person-Centered Planning Implementation:  Tools and Strategies for PCP Leaders  This Institute will provide a brief refresher of the core principles and practices of comprehensive person- centered recovery planning (PCP), with a focus on the "nuts-and-bolts" of PCP implementation from both a process and a documentation perspective. This institute is intended for participants who have already been exposed to these topics through previous person-centered planning skills training. The Institute will present new material regarding complex issues in person-centered planning implementation, including a review of common PCP barriers/myths, strategies and tools for supervising staff in PCP, monitoring plan implementation after the PCP is developed (including through progress notes and PCP quality indicators tools, etc.). The iInstitute will include a mix of didactic and practice-based strategies to support participants in the implementation of PCP at the individual and agency level.

This full-day Institute will cover CPS training, competencies, universal HR policies and supervision issues, as well as underlying cultural shifts related to peers in the workforce.
