Professional Development
The NC Community Transitions Institute (“The Institute”) is a hands-on, collaborative learning opportunity for professionals who support individuals with long-term care needs to transition from facility settings to their homes and communities. The program is designed to bring together diverse stakeholders who support transitioning individuals and to develop best practices throughout the lifecycle of a transition.
The Institute builds off existing person-centered thinking and motivational interviewing principles. However, The Institute furthers these principles and provides practical strategies for applying the principles in a transition context. The goals of The Institute include:
- Provide quality content that is immediately relevant to the practice of supporting a transitioning individual.
- Strengthen Institute members’ knowledge of, and utilization of, person-centered practices using collaborative communication techniques inspired by motivational
- interviewing in transition specific contexts.
- Foster professional collaboration and networking among Institute members.
- Deliver a learning opportunity that enhances organizational capability to support person-centered transition practices.
- Develop leadership competencies to sustain quality transition practices.
- Generate clear recommendations for developing and advancing a Transition Policy Agenda.
