How We Work
How We Work
Life Vision Planning is grounded in a simple belief: planning works best when it starts with listening. Our role is to support people and families to think clearly about the future, beginning with what matters most to the person at the centre. This means creating space for reflection, honest conversation, and shared understanding — before moving toward goals or plans.

- Our services are designed for people who want planning to feel respectful, thoughtful, and centred on real lives. This work may be a good fit if you are:
- An individual who wants support thinking about your future, clarifying goals, or navigating change
- A family seeking a clear, shared understanding of what a good life looks like for someone you love
- A support network wanting a neutral facilitator to help guide planning conversations
- A professional or organization looking for ethical, person-centred facilitation that respects individual voice and choice
Life Vision Planning is especially helpful during times of transition, uncertainty, or when planning conversations feel stuck or overwhelming

What We Do — and What We Don’t Do
What We Do — and What We Don’t Do
Do
Facilitate planning conversations
Support clarity, reflection, and decision-making
Help translate vision into practical plans
We do not:
Provide direct services or case management
Make decisions on behalf of individuals or families
Recommend specific programs or providers
This clarity helps ensure that planning remains ethical, person-centered, and respectful.
A Grounded, Respectful Process

Life Vision Planning is for people who want planning that feels calm, respectful, and centred on real lives. Every life is different. Planning should honour that — with care, intention, and a focus on what truly matters.

When you work with us, you can expect:
- A safe, supportive space
We start by listening. There is no pressure, no judgement, and no “one-size-fits-all” approach. - A focus on your child as a whole person
We look beyond services and diagnoses to understand your child’s interests, strengths, relationships, and goals. - Clear, step-by-step planning
Big questions about the future can feel overwhelming. We help break them into manageable steps and realistic timelines. - Unbiased information and options
Because we are independent, we help you explore choices without steering you toward specific providers or programs. - Ongoing support over time
Planning is not a one-time event. We walk alongside families as needs change and new opportunities arise. - Partnership with parents and caregivers
You know your child best. We work with you, not over you, and support your child to be involved in decisions at a level that makes sense for them.

Person-centered
Person-centered
The person’s life, values, and priorities guide the process. Planning is shaped around the individual, not around services, programs, or system expectations.

Good planning happens in relationship. Families, trusted supporters, and professionals are invited into the process in ways that are respectful, purposeful, and supportive of the person’s goals.
