Whose Life Is It, Anyway? – In Person Training

Featuring: Peter Leidy

2238 South Park Street, Madison, WI 53713
@ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
UW South Madison Partnership

Overview:

In this training session we will look at power and control in support relationships.  Many people being supported feel that others are too often telling them what to do.  Many supporters feel that guiding and deciding are expectations of their job or supervisor.  We talk about choice all the time, but what does choice really mean?  And does it differ from person to person?
