Charting the LifeCourse

The Charting the LifeCourse framework was created to help individuals and families of all abilities and all ages develop a vision for a good life, think about what they need to know and do, identify how to find or develop supports, and discover what it takes to live the lives they want to live. The framework is the keystone for supporting a community of learning that champions transformational change through knowledge exchange, capacity building, and collaborative engagement.

While Connections Case Management, LLC has thoroughly trained and immersed all staff in person-centered thinking and person-centered planning with our individuals and families, in 2021 we embarked on a higher level of understanding and practice. Connections has committed to enhance and broaden our understanding of the LifeCourse Framework and how Charting the LifeCourse is being utilized throughout the country to better support the individuals we serve. As such, Connections is committed to providing our staff additional opportunities to deepen their knowledge and utilization of LifeCourse principles. We accomplish this through the LifeCourse Ambassador Series and are committed to at least ten percent of our staff becoming certified LifeCourse Ambassadors. We pledge to continue to utilize and prepare the entire Connections Team to support self-advocacy and leadership skill building for all of our individuals and families.
