What you will learn

Person Centred Practice is mentioned frequently in the human services sector as a philosophy and practice for providing optimal client support. But what does Person Centred Practice actually mean, and what does it look like in practice?

This one-day course will introduce you to Person Centred Practice, its history and principles, and ways in which it can be applied in everyday work practice, including with people with disability and those experiencing mental health conditions. In this course participants will have opportunities to learn about and reflect on what it means to deliver services that are person centred and person led, what they look like in practice, and use case studies and real-life examples to embed learning and reflection in professional practice and workplace settings.
