Person Centered Thinking Approach
At Premier Supports, our mission is to empower individuals to live a life of independence and self-determination. One of the ways we realize this goal is through Person Centered Thinking, an ongoing process that uses a variety of skills to discover what is important to an individual – such as activities, places, things, and people, and what is important for an individual to help them live a better life. From this specialized discovery process, a person-centered description of the individual is created. This then, leads to an action plan that builds on their strengths, talents, and skills and works toward realizing their goals while maintaining their health and safety.
Our Commitment to Certification and Training
Person Centered Thinking (PCT) is most effective when everyone around the individual, from direct caregivers to professional staff, understands and demonstrates person centered thinking skills. Premier is one of the few providers that has in-house Certified PCT Trainers who work to integrate Person Centered Thinking approaches in every service we provide. In addition, we administer the two-day Person Centered Thinking Training to key personnel at all levels of the organization.Meet our Certified PCT Trainers
