Person-centered training opportunities

DHS and the University of Minnesota’s Institute on Community Integration (ICI) announce a variety of training opportunities on person-centered thinking and person-centered planning. There are three separate training topics for you to consider, depending on your role or level of interaction with people with disabilities.

New dates and locations

Visit the new DHS person-centered training page to see dates, locations and registration information for all sessions, and specifically the new Part 1: Person-centered thinking training dates.

Each Part 1 session is open only to assessors, case managers and other lead agency staff until late February. After this initial announcement period of two weeks, registration is open to everyone.

Suggest new locations or train-the-trainer training

If you would like to suggest additional training locations or are interested in being trained to facilitate person-centered trainings, contact ICI at rtc@umn.edu.
