Even though we mean well, we often unintentionally create conditions where the people we are trying to support experience oppression and dehumanization. The need to provide an opportunity for anyone in a helping role to appreciate the Person Directed Framework (PDF) comes from the realization that we need to rebalance the traditional power structure within our programs and services. This session integrates the contributions of two very influential groups: The important work of the Heart and Soul of Change Projecti summarizing what we are learning from years of outcome research and the simplicity and wisdom of the Nonviolent Communication model developed by Marshall Rosenberg.
This session will focus on three critical habits for any helper. The core competencies presented will make collaborating and partnering with the person “do-able” so you can transform and eliminate situations where the person’s most basic needs are not being met. It is very simple and it will provide you with a concrete way to manage the power and influence you have in any helping relationship. |
