Thank you so much for the Person-Centered training you provided. The process you taught is so practical and engaging. I appreciated all the real-world tips and strategies you gave along the way. I’m looking forward to incorporating this process into my own practice.

We started with participating in/observing an actual PCP meeting which was extremely valuable and ended with facilitating one ourselves while being observed. Although initially I was really nervous about this, it encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone, take risks, and really live the full experience. It was the highlight of my school year. Thank you Wise!!!

The training was so inspiring to be part of. I enjoyed being part of the teams of those we support to allow them to express the most important parts of their lives. It was a great experience to witness the possibilities of new opportunities for those we support and have a say in what their future will look like. Surrounded by people that care about them to watch their confidence grow and advocate for themselves was a reward in itself.
