The Western New York Care Coordination Program (WNYCCP),
with support from the New York State Office of Mental Health
(OMH), is pleased to provide opportunities for care providers,
administrators, people receiving services, their families,
their friends and their communities to learn about a person-centered
approach to mental health. We believe the philosophy, the
skills and the tools of person-centered practices are a
means to create a recovery environment for people receiving
services and to engage local communities in the recovery
process.
The workshops offered through Person-Centered Planning
Training Opportunities will provide you with an introduction
to this approach and a chance to begin developing your skills
in this approach. We hope you’ll take advantage of
this opportunity to begin the transformation to a person-centered,
recovery focused system of care in New York State.
We are grateful to the organizations which have partnered
with us in this initiative: the NYS Conference of Local
Mental Hygiene Directors, NYAPRS and the NYS Council for
Community Behavioral Healthcare.
