Networks

Our loved ones’ personal networks are essential to their quality of life today and their security tomorrow. Some of the benefits we’ve seen in the lives of our relatives as a result of strong networks include:

Greater independence, self-worth, and self-confidence
Greater sense of belonging
Connection to community
More people with whom to enjoy life
More people to monitor ongoing services
More people to support the person at the centre to solve problems and resolve crises
More people to assist in planning, giving advice, and making decisions
More involvement in activities for the person at the centre, including employment

A Personal Network is the most important benefit of PLAN membership. PLAN creates a personal network of likeminded caring and committed people who join together in a relationship with your relative, other family members, and each other. Once up and running, the network bridges the gap between living on the edge of community and being a full and active participant in that community.

We can assist you in building a personal network for your loved one in a few different ways.
