Offered 2 time during membership period!
Total risk avoidance has been programmed into the lives of people with IDD. Yet one of the best ways to learn, grow, and be successful in today’s world is to experience the taste of failure!
Join us for Risks and Rights: They Belong to the Person to change your mindset about risk, balance risk and choice, and ensure full enjoyment of fundamental rights while balancing risk impact.
During the training, you’ll:
Learn to balance risk and choice
Explore the tension between safety and empowerment
Gain tools to help manage degrees of risk in person-centered planning
Determine rights restrictions you may not know about or realize, then correct them!
This session is practical and active. We will introduce a tool that assesses risk and plans through minimizing risk, which is sometimes the very reason for restrictions. Attendees leave with both tools and a working plan to move forward!
Available as a free selection with membership.
General Admission: $60.00
Facilitators: Gail Godwin and Nicole Leblanc
