Person-centered planning (PCP) is based on the truths that people know what’s best for themselves and that self-determination and human rights are essential for wellness. A recently released PCP Issue Brief offers a wide range of guidance and tools for State Mental Health Authorities (SMHAs) committed to implementing PCP in a manner that is both more consistent and more fully aligned with SAMHSA's Working Definition of Recovery.
This webinar presents a call to action for all behavioral health stakeholders to demand that we move beyond the “rhetoric” of person-centered care to achieve a reality where services and planning are more fully accessible, authentically recovery-oriented, and truly, culturally centered around the individual. Emphasis will be placed on the critical role that people with lived experience, including peer professionals, should play at all stages of PCP implementation and systems change.
Use this Toolkit to learn more about how SAMHSA supports people in recovery and how you can share this information with your audience. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in or seeking recovery from mental and substance use disorders.
