Person Centered Thinking Training

3 day training event for all providers of social care services

Course Outline

Staffordshire County Council has developed this three day training program which gives the learner an insight to the ‘Person Centred’ approach. The program covers a number of person centred thinking skills which will make a difference in the lives of people that are supported by staff from a health and social care setting.

The course will utilise presentations and practical applications in order to provide participants with the experience of working with the new tools for a ‘Person Centred’ approach and each attendee will receive a mini book on the approach.
