Foundations of Person-centred Support for Leaders
An organization cannot have effective operations without effective leadership; yet this is a link that can sometimes be missed or overlooked. Within the nonprofit sector, it is easy for people to make the link between direct support staff and services, and quality of life for the people they support – you see it every day. The link between leadership and quality of life for the people we support may be less obvious, but the importance cannot be overlooked as leaders are the ones who ensure effective operations, establish policies and processes, embed person-centred practice, and set the tone for the organization’s culture.
Whether you are a board director, executive director, or senior manager, this is your opportunity to reflect on and assess where your organization currently is in its person-centred philosophy and approach, and identify areas or ways in which person-centred practice can be built on and improved, as it continues to evolve and progress.
This course provides an overview of person-centred practice, why this approach is integral to supporting people experiencing disability, and how leadership can impact person-centred practice in the organization.
Learners will have 30 days to complete this course.
