NYS DOH in conjunction with Public Consulting Group (PCG) and the New York Alliance for Inclusion & Innovation, will continue to offer virtual Individual Learning Institutes and Organizational Learning Institutes to interested HCBS stakeholders across the State. If you are not yet familiar with the Individual and Organizational Learning Institutes, below is a short description of each these innovative person-centered planning and practice learning opportunities and how to register for them.
Individual Learning Institute:
A six-week learning experience that engages each participant at a personal level as they learn how to support individuals receiving home and community-based services to have a more full and meaningful life in their community of choice. These include virtual group sessions, online coaching from international experts in person-centered practice and planning, and access to an online community of peers.

Organizational Learning Institutes:
We’d also like to remind stakeholders that we additionally offer Organizational Learning Institutes, which provide an intensive change experience for organizations that are committed to supporting all individuals who receive their services to have a more full and meaningful life. These also include participation in virtual group sessions, design workshops, and ongoing coaching, and require that an organization commit at least three staff members to participating for the duration of the Learning Institute.
