Focusing On All People

All people, regardless of age, ability, or family role, are considered in our vision, values, policies, and practices for supporting individuals and families. All families have choices and access to the supports they need.

Recognizing the Person Within the Context of Their Family

People exist and have reciprocal roles within a family system, defined by that individual. Roles adjust as the individual members of the family system change and age. The entire family, individually and as a whole, needs support to ensure they all are able to successfully live their good life.

Trajectory of Life Experiences Across the Lifespan

Individuals and families can focus on a specific life stage, with an awareness of how prior, current, and future life stages impact and influence their trajectory. It is important to have a vision for a good, quality life and have opportunities, experiences, and support to move the life trajectory in a positive direction.

Achieving Life Outcomes

Individuals and families plan for the present and future life outcomes that take into account all facets of life and have opportunities for life experiences that build self-determination, social capital, economic sufficiency, and community inclusion.

Holistic Focus Across Life Domains

People lead whole lives made up of specific, connected, and integrated life domains that are important to a good quality of life. Life domains are the different aspects and experiences of life that we all consider as we age and grow.

These include:
• Daily Life & Employment
• Community Living
• Safety & Security
• Healthy Living
• Social & Spirituality
• Advocacy and Engagement

Supporting the Three Buckets of Need

The three strategies for supporting individuals and their families can be organized into three categories (or buckets):

Discovery and Navigation: having the information and tools you need to navigate life

Connecting and Networking: making connections with peers and resources to help you navigate

Goods and Services: the day-to-day tangible items you buy or use from public and private organizations in your community

Integrated Services and Supports Across the LifeCourse

Individuals and families access an array of integrated supports to achieve their envisioned good life. These include those that are publicly or privately funded and based upon eligibility; community supports that are available to anyone; relationship-based supports; technology; and the personal strengths and assets of the individual and their family.

Transformational Policy and Systems Change

Individuals and families are truly involved in policy making so that they influence planning, policy, implementation, research, and revision of the practices that affect them. Every program, organization, system, and policy-maker must think about a person within the context of family and community.
