Person-centred planning: helping children determine their own futures

Key learning:

• How future planning can help children and young people in finding focus and motivation
• Brain functions, and how they link to goal attainment
• Strategies to help children identify what is important to them, their strengths and who can support them
• Tools to create realistic, practical timelines with children and young people for moving towards their goal
  

This session is aimed at professionals working with children and young people in a direct setting.

Future planning increases self-confidence, resilience and helps young people to make more informed decisions. Develop your practice in supporting children and young people to understand where they are in life and what they want to work towards – whether in relation to their education, relationships, health or care.

This webinar will explore brain development, functions and emotional regulation and how these link to goal attainment. You will learn how to create a person-centred pathway, a practical tool that can support young people with their goals, as well as your own professional development.

“This will be a great tool for me to connect with the young people I work with and in turn help us both access their goals in a more efficient way.” – Attendee, January 2024

“I feel better equipped to deliver a pathway for the young people I work with and assist them to dream and plan"– Attendee, March 2023

"Absolutely loved this webinar, Jan is a fantastic trainer and so easy to listen to and stay focused on the content. Fantastic and informative information that will be able to help a lot of people" - Attendee, January 2021
