PCP DVD aids support
Carr-Gomm has launched a new DVD for clients on Person Centred Planning (PCP). PCP is a support planning tool which is a fun, easy and creative way for clients to explore their future and help realise their goals.
The DVD was produced by clients for clients and is full of stories and messages from clients on how PCP has helped improve their lives. Clients featured in the film share often moving, personal accounts of their life. Some have been at ‘rock bottom’, lived on the streets, lost family or friends, lost their confidence and given up hope.
Every client has been given their own copy of DVD which explains what PCP is and how it can be used.
Clients talk openly about their experience of using PCP and how it has helped improve their confidence and well-being in the hope that other clients will be inspired to use it. They talk about the process and the achievements they have made through using the support tool.
Gary Lashko, Chief Executive says: “Clients have shown enormous courage in talking so frankly about their own experiences and journey using PCP.
"The DVD provides inspiration for anyone who watches it and I hope that clients will be inspired by the stories told and use the DVD to apply PCP to their own lives."
Sandra, client adds: "With PCP, writing and drawing akes a difference. It is amazing that you see it all. It helps you see where you started and shows where you are going to and where you want to be."
PCP is a fun, easy and creative way for clients to explore their future. It puts the individual at the centre of planning. PCP focuses on the person’s gifts, qualities and abilities. It helps people to describe the way they want to live their life and provides a process for planning how to achieve this which puts them in control. It uses creative techniques and approaches including graphics, colour, objects to help people visualise their dreams and produce a plan to fulfil these.
