Who should be included in the plan of action for the individual served?

Including the person served in the plan of action is crucial because they are the central figure in their recovery journey. Their insights, preferences, and needs should guide the development of the plan to ensure it is relevant and personalized. Involving the individual not only empowers them but also fosters a sense of ownership over their recovery process. This collaboration enhances motivation and engagement with the plan, leading to better outcomes.

In contrast, while the supervising colleague, organizational management, and community leader may provide valuable support, their involvement should be secondary to that of the individual served. The focus must remain on the individual's goals and circumstances, making them the primary contributor to the planning process. This approach aligns with the principles of person-centered care, promoting autonomy and respect for the individual's experiences and choices.
