Person-Centered Practices (PCP) assist individuals to have control over the life they desire and engage fully in their communities. These practices assist everyone (individuals who receive services, family members, staff, organizations, and systems) in creating a positive and meaningful life, building on an individual's unique interests and strengths.
North Dakota is developing a strong and consistent statewide vision and universal understanding of person-centeredness across all North Dakota Department of Human Services (ND DHS) entities and community partners.
Together we will:
- Bring diverse voices to the table
- Support individuals participating in services and statewide system change efforts
- Transform policies to reflect statewide person-centered values and culture
- Ensure communication is accessible and relatable
As part of the statewide commitment to unify efforts, each ND DHS division engaged in a Self-Assessment process to establish baselines on how person-centered the division is, create action plans and measure progress toward building a more person-centered system. As part of this initiative, North Dakota developed an Asset Map, last updated July 2020. While this document is no longer being updated as part of current efforts, the providers and resources previously identified are now available in a dedicated Service Directory. Visit the Service Directory page to explore available resources.
