Person Centered Planning - Trauma Informed Support Coordination
Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026
Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Location: Webinar - Zoom
With: Annette Downey, LBSW, MSA, QIDP
The type of support people are asking for is changing, and the funding and requirements for providing services are changing too. This presentation will focus on service providers adapting their service array and approaches to be more person-centered and person-directed, to assist people in achieving outcomes valued by all members of society. “Getting great services” is obviously not the goal of our field of work -“GETTING A GREAT LIFE” is. This will be an interactive training session that aims to re-frame our views on service provision, with the goal of making our service systems as person-centered and community-focused as possible. The presenter will use PowerPoint slides and short video clips and engage in active chat with attendees via questions and answers. This training will focus on where we have been and where we are going as a service industry. Methods for helping people with developmental disabilities and mental health needs achieve active, rich, and respected lives as valued members of their community through individualized Person-Centered Planning processes will be shared.
Course Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to identify the "big" and "little" traumas that impact individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
2. Participants will be able to name 4 symptom areas of PTSD
3. Participants obtain tools to support a person when the person becomes triggered to calm the "emotional" brain and engage the "smart" brain.
4. Participants will be able to create a crisis plan that is proactive in nature and helps the person and their circle of support recognize and respond with the tools obtained.
09:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.: A single presenter will deliver a PowerPoint presentation accompanied by short video clips and engage in active chat discussions with questions and answers. The presenter is skilled and experienced with online training methodologies.
