About the Course
Values, principles, and tools of Personal Support Network facilitation
Finding friendship and making personal connections in one’s community can present challenges for us all under the most robust of conditions; for those who are isolated due to disability, illness or old age, developing a social network can seem insurmountable.  At the heart of PLAN is the belief that in creating a caring community with the knowledgeable assistance of a Network Facilitator, a person in isolation can have an active social network playing an important role in bringing resilience, purpose and joy to an otherwise solitary life. Building on over 25 years of experience in facilitating hundreds of personal support networks for people living in isolation, Weaving the Ties that Bind is an on-line course of study using PLAN’s proven approach to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a Personal Support Network Facilitator. As a Network Facilitator, you will have the tools to re-chart a life of isolation towards a life at the centre of an active and caring social network.
