Person-Centered Thinking® (PCT) training is an interactive skill development training where participants learn PCT skills developed by the Learning Community for Person Centered Practices (www.tlcpcp.com).

PCT skills help us get to know people, discover how to respectfully support them and keep learning as we act on what we hear. They are effective to use with all people and are especially helpful for individuals and teams who are working to:

• Determine the best supports and services
• Sort through issues at work or at home
• Develop plans for students or others facing major transitions
• Plan for the future with a partner
• Support families through a variety of life transitions.

This interactive training will focus on:

• Learning to balance what is important TO a person and what is important FOR a person
• Practicing PCT Discovery Skills that help us better understand a good balance for the person and how to best support them
• Introducing PCT Everyday Learning Skills to capture ongoing learning and support the person to create a life they envision.

Twelve specific skills are taught across the three sessions. A core value in person-centered practice is to understand and experience the skills before leading the process with someone else. Consistent with this, an important part of the PCT® training is participants’ work in pairs and small groups to develop their own person-centered descriptions.

Disclaimer
Those who successfully complete the PCT training are ready to facilitate the use of PCT skills within teams, but are not certified to train others.
