Podcasts about person centered

Host and owner of The Cavu Group, Leslie Short, interviews Cynthia Overton, PHD.Cynthia Overton, PhD, is an author, speaker, and advocate for person-centered care. Her perspective is shaped by her experience after a rare spinal cord injury led to seven weeks in three hospitals, where she sought high-quality care, negotiated with insurance companies, relearned to walk, and transitioned into life with a disability. That journey inspired her book, Clear Cane Chronicles: Shaping the Future of Healthcare Through Person-Centered Care, and ongoing work to develop a digital companion to support people navigating care beyond the clinic.Discussion:1. What is Person-Centered care?2. Health Insurance vs. Care3. What's Missing in our health system4. Being your best advocate5. Building your health care team6. Accessibility has different meanings for: Patient, Hospital, Insurance, Dr.'s, and society...

This episode features a conversation with David Toback about supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). David describes his journey beginning in 2006 working in mental health and IDD, later contributing heavily to Georgia's transition from institutional care to community‑based services. They discuss the importance of person‑centered thinking—listening, responding, and acting based on what matters to each individual—and the practical skills involved, especially for people who communicate nonverbally. David explains how person‑centered approaches balance what is "important to" someone with what is "important for" their health, safety, and community inclusion. He also clarifies how these methods complement the Charting the LifeCourse framework, which helps organize long‑term goals and resources. Together, they emphasize that these tools support better, more meaningful lives and help deepen the purpose and passion of professionals in IDD services. David closes with three key recommendations: dig deeper by "asking about the ask," always determine whether someone needs help or simply listening, and make choices from wisdom rather than convenience.

Welcome to the Season 5 Premiere of iChange Justice! In this landmark episode, hosts Joy Gilfilen and Karen Ball celebrate an incredible milestone with our dear friend and international collaborator, James White. James is a member of Community Living British Columbia, serves on the Board of the Restorative Community Coalition, and founded the ESATTA Cooperative (Empowering Self Advocates To Take Action) over 40 years ago. Trailblazing anew, it's achieved a distinctive level of civic leadership!Focusing on 2026, James identifies this as the Year of the Fire Horse—his own Chinese astrological sign—signaling a time of high energy, passion, and rapid advancement. A globally recognized mentor in the international learning community for person-centered practices, James is guiding us to use this "on fire" energy to move away from cold, transactional bureaucracy and back to the heart of Human Connection.Inside this Premiere, he introduces tools and demonstrates action:The "Who Am I?" One-Page Profile: James details how ESATTA uses this tool to help people move past labels and "ableism." It's a blueprint for building symbiotic, life-giving friendships and professional support systems based on who we actually are, rather than institutional "pigeonholes."The Mission, B.C. Success Story: We dive into the "Reimagining Community: Welcome Home" project. Using the power of World Cafés, James shows how he helped bridge the gap between city councils, 27 diverse tribes, and everyday citizens in British Columbia to create a roadmap for true civic inclusion.Breaking Down Barriers: Following the theme of "Nothing About Us Without Us," we discuss how to challenge systemic barriers and return control to the individuals most impacted by the justice and care systems.Moving from Logic to Legacy: This episode sets the stage for a series of five intensive trainings James will be leading in 2026. We are moving from the “logic” of the system (the data, the labels, and the rules) to a “living restorative legacy”—utilizing the powerful "Fire Horse" energy of the year to create a world where everyone is treated with compassion, respect, and dignity.

Palm Beach County, Florida, was the epicenter of the state's opioid crisis for many years as pill mills and malfeasance plagued the county's communities. Since 2017, the county has been addressing the crisis, forming an advisory committee, appointing a drug czar and shifting its response toward a strategy centered on long-term recovery. With opioid settlement money to allocate over the next 20 years, the latest plan looks to spend 90% on social determinants of health—like job training, stable housing, and community support—and 10% on acute care. This paradigm shift is rethinking traditional approaches to addressing substance use disorders (SUD), placing recovery at the heart of government response. Palm Beach County Drug Czar John Hulick joins this episode to discuss this bold action and how other local governments can draw from the county's playbook to inform their own work on SUD.  John Hulick was Palm Beach County's Office of Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders senior program manager and drug czar. He began serving in this position in 2018. He previously had focused on policy in New Jersey, being tapped to serve as former Governor Chris Christie's executive director of the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and serving as policy advisor to the governor for Human Services, Children, and Families in the Office of the Governor. He is an individual in long-term recovery and has also supported his daughter throughout her journey in recovery from addiction.More Links and InformationCheck out more Fors Marsh Media  Connect or partner with Fors Marsh  Read the Palm Beach County Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan

We Are Nature. Focusing and Ecotherapy with guest Adrian Harris and host Greg Madison. Episode 31In this episode, Adrian and I share an intriguing conversation about how the body is our connection to the other-than-human and how this embodiment can lead to a deep form of eco-appreciation and activism. Adrian describes what he means by ecopaganism, ecopsychology and lists the 3 keys to ecotherapy self-practice. We also touch on the question of how therapy might expand if it is practiced in nature rather than within four walls. Adrian's work compliments Gendlin's statement, ‘In sensing ourselves, our bodies sense our physical environment and our inter-human situations' (Gendlin, 2003. p.101).Episode 31 with Adrian Harris: https://youtu.be/0xu6x9u0bl4?si=ruRtFeGq9iQ1m_lSThe Living Process - all episodes and podcast links:https://www.londonfocusing.com/the-living-process/TLP YouTube video channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC0TgN6iVu3n9d9q2l43z1xBMYY3p9FQLThe Living Process on the FOT Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx3FqA70kQWuHCHmEiZnkn1VcrRIPbcvkDr Adrian Harris is based in Exeter, UK, and works as a person-centred, FOT and Ecotherapist in person and online.

I am a graduate of the St. Ambrose University BSN nursing program. I had a few years of hospital and clinic experience before my son Mason was born.I am now my son's full-time home health nurse. He was born several months early and had a brain hemorrhage at birth, resulting in hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and other medical conditions. Mason is now 3.5 years old and requires full-time nursing care to provide feeding tube support, meds, and mobility assistance. He's had six brain surgeries, spine surgery, and others. I was fortunate to be hired for Mason's home health case, so I can be one of several nurses providing care for him.I feel that I have a unique experience from having a healthcare background and now being on the receiving end of the medical system in a complex way. I believe that because of my experience, I am better able to advocate for my child, as well as make sure the system around him is functioning as it should be. As most of us know, we have a long way to go as a collective society for optimizing healthcare for people with disabilities. My goal is to continue to advocate for the best care, safety, and accessibility for those with disabilities and their support systems."Kevin Sullivan:  "My name is Kevin Sullivan, but feel free to call me Kev. I'm just an average guy, or at least I try to be as much as possible. I'm the youngest of three children and also the only member of both my immediate and extended families to be born with a permanent physical disability.I was born in a suburb outside Chicago with a condition known as Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, or AMC for short. My condition causes abnormal fibrosis of my muscle tissue, which results in general weakness and limited range of motion in both my arms and legs. While my condition is both permanent and irreversible, AMC is neither a degenerative nor genetic condition. My life expectancy also will not be affected.I was born in the early 1990s, less than a year after the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. My right to participate in everyday life alongside my able-bodied peers was codified into law at just the right time. As a part of the first generation of Americans living with disabilities having these rights guaranteed from birth, I've experienced both the successes and the shortcomings of this legislation.I currently work a full-time job for a technology company in the logistics industry and am able to live semi-independently with the assistance of family members and hired caregivers."Assessing Family Caregiver Needs: Policy and Practice Considerations:  https://www.caregiving.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/AARP-caregiver-fact-sheet.pdfCaregiving for Family and Friends - A Public Health Issue:  https://www.cdc.gov/aging/caregiving/pdf/caregiver-brief-508.pdfServices for Children with Disabilities:https://childcare.gov/consumer-education/services-for-children-with-disabilities

Creating a Person-Centered Library: Best Practices for Supporting High-Needs Patrons (Bloomsbury, 2023) provides a comprehensive overview of various services, programs, and collaborations to help libraries serve high-needs patrons as well as strategies for supporting staff working with these individuals. While public libraries are struggling to address growing numbers of high-needs patrons experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, mental health problems, substance abuse, and poverty-related needs, this book will help librarians build or contribute to library services that will best address patrons' psychosocial needs. Beth Wahler and Sarah C. Johnson, experienced in both library and social work, begin by providing an overview of patrons' psychosocial needs, structural and societal reasons for the shift in these needs, and how these changes impact libraries and library staff. Chapters focus on best practices for libraries providing person-centered services and share lessons learned, including information about special considerations for certain patron populations that might be served by individual libraries. The book concludes with information about how library organizations can support public library staff. Librarians and library students who are concerned about both patrons and library staff will find the practical advice in this book invaluable.

Imagine navigating a system where your needs are ignored due to your age. This is the reality for many adults with autism facing age discrimination. The fight against this injustice hinges on advocacy, personalization, and accessibility. Advocating for legislative changes ensures equality and fairness. In this episode, host Annette Hines talks with Christina Gravina CEO & Founder of BILT (Bridging Independent Living Together, Inc.). Annette and Christina address age discrimination in autism services, highlighting the challenges adults face when denied support due to age. Christina advocates for legal changes and emphasizes personalized, goal-oriented services over the one-size-fits-all model. Her organization, BILT, offers one-on-one support, therapeutic mentoring, skill-building, and community integration, with options for private pay and insurance. They've also opened a center with small group classes and a high staff-to-client ratio, allowing clients to choose activities they enjoy. Christina stresses starting small, gathering feedback, and overcoming funding challenges to create effective programs for people with disabilities.   In this episode, you will hear: Why you should advocate for legislative changes to address age discrimination in autism services. How to provide individualized services tailored to the unique goals and interests of disabled individuals. What payment options, such as private pay, school district funding, DDS payments, and insurance, can make services more accessible. Ways to create meaningful programs for individuals with disabilities.

Through our ABA education, we learned a lot about rules and procedures around behavior management. However, sometimes rigid traditional methods fail to work, and we need to turn to an empathetic, person-centered approach instead. Acknowledging how our learners are feeling in the moment can sometimes be far more effective than trying to push ahead. Here, we discuss how the person-centered approach works.The beauty of a person-centered approach is that it holds space for our learners while still allowing us to hold firm boundaries. The goal is to come across as a cheerleader, not a controller. We discuss Hanley's Universal Protocol and related concepts, tips for creating a more positive environment, and how to identify precursors to problem behaviors.On Thursday, May 17th, we're hosting a live CEU event on a child-centered approach to behavior management.

Healthcare is dynamic, some might even say chaotic. Anyone who has spent five minutes in a busy hospital will attest to the fact that caregivers, patients and equipment move through the hallways, and in and out of rooms, at a dizzying pace. And with all that movement, it's no surprise those same caregivers are often slowed down when they can't find someone or something they need. In response to this dynamic, some health systems have embraced RTLS to reduce the time lost in searching and to add more context to their data for better insight into clinical workflows and operational outcomes. In this important webinar, we'll speak to leaders about their RTLS journey, explore uses cases where it's made a difference today and is positioned to do so tomorrow, review best practice for implementation and optimization, and cover how the technology has advanced over the past few years.  Source: Enabling Asset Tracking & Facilitating Clinical Workflows with Person-Centered RTLS on healthsystemcio.com - healthsystemCIO.com is the sole online-only publication dedicated to exclusively and comprehensively serving the information needs of healthcare CIOs.

Focusing on What's Left: The Heart of Person-Centered Dementia Care" emphasizes a shift in perspective towards recognizing and nurturing the remaining abilities and strengths of individuals living with dementia. This approach prioritizes dignity, empathy, and the preservation of identity, fostering a supportive environment where individuals can thrive despite cognitive challenges. By giving focus on what remains rather than dwelling on losses, caregivers can enhance quality of life and promote meaningful connections with those in their care. By centering attention on the capabilities and interests that persist, caregivers can tailor activities and interventions to align with each individual's unique needs, preferences, and strengths. Targeted focusing enables caregivers to cultivate moments of joy, purpose, and connection, enhancing the overall well-being of those living with dementia. By acknowledging and amplifying what remains, Focusing on What's Left" promotes a more holistic and enriching approach to dementia care, centered on the enduring essence of each person.

This week on “The Top Line,” we're speaking with Jared Baeten, MD, Ph.D., Vice President, HIV Clinical Development, Gilead Sciences about how advancements in HIV treatment research have enabled individuals to lead longer and healthier lives by taking and staying on medication. Nevertheless, HIV persists as a significant public health challenge. To end the HIV epidemic, it is crucial to go beyond a biomedical approach and fully integrate social determinants of health into the collective response. Not everyone is achieving long-term success.  Long-term success involves meeting more than the United Nations' goals of ending the epidemic by 2030. Treatment selection can help prioritize long-term outcomes from the very beginning. There are several other key factors for people with HIV and their healthcare providers to consider when assessing treatment choices, such as the resistance and safety profile of a treatment, drug-to-drug interaction potential, and comorbid conditions. This podcast is brought to you by Gilead Sciences.
