Person Centered Thinking tools help people to think and plan for their life. Person-centered thinking tools are a set of easy to use templates that are used to give structure to conversations.

You will leave these two days of training equipped to lead conversations with those you serve and their networks about how to best support someone in achieving their full potential in a way that is meaningful to them. This training walks you through how to use several of the tools as well as how to decipher when each tool is the most useful.
