SUMMARY:Becoming Person Centered: Virtual Workshop Rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual workshop on how to Become Person Centered with Cheryl Ryan Chan! March 20th\, 2025 at 6:30 PM via Zoom. Registration is encouraged at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LUKFCEVENTS. The Zoom link will be posted on this page the morning of 3/20/25. \nZOOM LINK TO JOIN: https://lukinc.zoom.us/j/91587438027?pwd=UVugwc9Bsr8u3cwA9HnIjPY9OYzGyi.1&jst=3 \nWorkshop description: \n“Simply put\, we live in a system-centered world. Decisions about services and supports for people with disabilities are made based on funding\, geography\, and availability. Service providers are bound by regulations\, budgets\, and geographic boundaries. We hear of the phrase “person centered” but it is misunderstood and misused. We cannot change the systems overnight\, but we can shift our perspective\, language and actions so that conversations and decisions are about dignity\, joy\, and opportunity in life for the people that we love. In this workshop\, we will discuss how we can be person-centered in a system-centered world.” \nThe LUK Families Connected Family Resource Center is a supportive\, multicultural resource for North Central MA families. We are here to provide a welcoming\, supportive environment for local individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities\, including Autism Spectrum Disorder\, as well as their families and caretakers. Learn more about Families Connected here.
