Date: Oct 16, 2024 | Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm

The BC Centre for Ability's Supported Child Development Program is excited to share our new goal plan with the childcare community. For the past few years, the BC Centre for Ability has been learning about and implementing the F words framework into our daily work. This framework was developed by Can Child, and is grounded in family centred practice and focuses on an individual's strengths, interests, abilities and hopes for the future. In this training we will be reviewing what is a goal plan, the F words framework, shifting from clinical SMART goals, to strength based goals and unveiling the new goal plan document. The Supported Child Development Program has been a leader with helping to create the new goal plan. Please join us as we discuss this new developmental framework. At the end of the workshop, participants will become familiar with the F words framework, and learn how to create strength based goals to help support children and families who are a part of their childcare community.
