  • Transformational Change: Creating Meaningful Individual Service Plans (Macon)

    Middle Georgia State University 100 University Parkway, Macon, GA

    DBHDD, in partnership with Sangha Unity Network (SUN), will continue the work of Transformational Change through a series of interactive, one-day workshops focused on creating more meaningful Individual Service Plans using the new ISP template.

    These workshops are designed to support a shift in thinking about the ISP, from a required document to a person-centered tool that reflects the aspirations, strengths, preferences, and choices of each person receiving services. Participants will learn how to facilitate and develop ISPs that are grounded in person-centered engagement and aligned with the intent of the HCBS Settings Rule and NOW/COMP waivers.

    This event is hosted by Georgia Department of Behavoral Health and Developmental Disabilites and it will be located at both of the Clarence Brown Conference Center & the UGA Tifton Conference Center.
