Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope (PATH) is a person-centered planning process that builds upon a person’s hopes, dreams, and aspirations for their future. Developed by Jack Pearpoint, John O’Brien, and Marsha Forest, this dynamic process is appropriate for anyone at a crossroads in life or to simply plan for a future in an intentional way.  In this session, you will learn about PATH as an individual planning process, complete an abbreviated version of PATH for yourself, and learn ways to apply the process in your practice or in your life.
