For the Person Centred Planning Training Project, we have some Creative Facilitation workshops coming up in Winnipeg, Brandon and Portage la Prairie.  These workshops are funded by the Government of Manitoba, and there is no cost.  For each workshop, coffee is provided and lunch is on your own.  We will ensure that each agency gets a copy of the PATH AND MAPS Handbook from Inclusion Press.  Additional copies can be purchased directly from Inclusion Press.

CREATIVE FACILITATION is a three-day workshop that introduces participants to the PATH and MAPS approach to person-centred service planning.  Participants will be provided with an introduction to the foundations of facilitation, including listening, graphics, values, and the role of circles of support.  Participants will also have opportunities to practice their facilitation skills through demonstrations and small group practice.  PATH will engage the person you support to think backwards from future possibilities and use storytelling to create a vision of how the possibilities may be realized.  MAPS asks the person to share stories that reveal their gifts.  Together, we explore the ways these gifts can be embraced in the community.

2023 has us in a unique time of an increased rate of change in our world after almost 3 years of cumulative stress that demanded more of us than was realistic. The toll on our souls has often been overlooked as stressors have shifted. We may appear “back to normal” without masks and social distancing mandates. However, this change means we do not understand how the new normal works. Loneliness is at an all-time high as we hide our distress from others. Processing emotions carefully and thoughtfully is a way that we can improve our internal health. Courageous and compassionate connection with ourselves and others is the meaningful path to navigate these challenges.

Abilities Manitoba, with support from The Province of Manitoba, brings you this training on The Agency Guide To The Vulnerable Persons Living With A Mental Disability Act (VPA). Employees of service providers funded through Community Living Disability Services are eligible to attend the training for free. Each of the sessions below will be delivered online, running 3.5 hours each. Questions and requests for accommodation can be sent to Abilities Manitoba at training@abilitiesmanitoba.org or 431-688-6108.
