Empowering Organizations through Person-Centered Consultation: The Listening and Changing Project

The Listening and Changing Project, funded by NAI/DFI Genio in 2011, aimed to enhance organizational planning through Person-Centered Consultation. Engaging six DFI member organizations, including SBHI and the Alzheimer Society of Ireland, this pilot initiative facilitated a process where members were central to decision-making. The project developed three training modules, establishing a framework for strategic planning that prioritizes member involvement and reflects shared values. Discover how this transformative approach can benefit disability organizations, leading to self-directed supports and services.
