Person-Centered Thinking Training

The Council has offered Person-Centered Thinking (PCT) training to Idahoans or those who work in Idaho as part of our effort to make person-centered services more available.  Training covers skills that help you get to know people, discover how to support them, and keep learning from the person along the way.

Trainings are made up of either a five or six-part virtual series.  Each session is three (3) hours, with two (2) sessions per week.  Participants receive a Zoom link and materials before the training starts. The training focuses on:

• PCT Discovery Skills: helping us better know the person and how they want to be supported
• PCT Everyday Learning Skills: capturing ongoing learning and support for the person to create a life they envision
• Respectful Support Skills: addressing issues of health and safety from different viewpoints and empowering the person to maintain control

Training Expectations:

• A camera is vital to making the training all it can be. A webcam is a requirement for this training.
• You receive 14 PCT tool templates that you can use right away & a certificate of completion of 18 training hours.
• Attendance for each session is required. Training will not be recorded.
