Planning Your Support

Better Together is committed to ensuring that individuals with a disability and/or mental health issue receive services that are designed and delivered around their individual circumstances, needs, potential valued roles and aspirations. Better Together is committed to work respectfully with individuals and to support them to live their lives to the fullest and hold valued roles and relationships in the social, civic and economic life of the Moreton Bay Region.

Roles Based Planning

Roles Based Planning takes the fundamentals of the other planning tools such as person centred planning, PATH (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope) and MAP (Making Action Plans) such as:

  • assisting the participants to create a vision for the future
  • articulates their dreams / interests / desires
  • gets clear about who the individual is and what they need
  • grounds the process in reality with tangible and realistic steps or goals

Roles Based Planning then couples the information above with a clear focus on ensuring the social realities of the person are given prime importance by bringing the underlying principles of Social Role Valorisation (SRV) into focus.  By using the principles of SRV in the planning process there is a considerable effort to align the person’s goals with activities and routines that are socially valued.

In essence, an individual’s support plan reflects as closely as possible that of the socially valued majority of the community.  As such they will be focused on:

  1. The building of intentional and freely given relationship.
  2. Individualised support and regular living arrangements.
  3. Work / employment instead of day and leisure activities.
  4. Ensuring the person is supported to enhance their image, competencies and social contribution.
  5. Ensuring people are provided with sufficient information and direct experience to make informed decisions – including awareness of potential negative outcomes associated with choices.

A Roles Based Plan looks at vision, milestones, current relationships, current valued roles, skills, abilities, talents, interests, challenges, idea’s to overcome challenges, new goal and indicators and of course – the first steps.
