The Person-Centered Recovery Planning (PCRP) Consultation Corner is a 6-month learning series featuring a monthly webinar on the “FAQs” of PCRP; offering practical tools and resources to support quality PCRP at the level of both individual service delivery and organizational systems change; and providing follow-up “office hours” through smaller-group technical assistance for webinar participants who wish to take a “deeper dive” on a given topic.

The topic for webinar session 2 was "Co-Creation of the PCRP Document-Partnering, Goal Discovery & Emphasis on Real Life Results."

At the end of the series, participants will be able to:

• Define PCRP and its essential elements
• Increase familiarity with existing and emerging state and federal requirements regarding PCRP
• Articulate a minimum of three differences between traditional methods of treatment planning and best-practice PCRP
• Learn more about how the MHTTC PCRP Consultation Corner series can provide tools and resources to support the implementation of PCRP at your organization
