Upcoming Events and Workshops
2010 Annual Real Choice Conference
This year marks ten years of Real Choice Systems Transformation efforts in New Hampshire. The Real Choice grants came about as a response to the Federal Supreme Court's Olmstead decision in 1999, which ruled that states could not unjustly institutionalize individuals. New Hampshire has been the fortunate recipient of numerous Real Choice grants focusing on a variety of systems transformation initiatives aimed at enhancing consumer-directed, community-based services and supports for all persons. This conference will highlight New Hampshire's successes over the past ten years and explore future opportunities to enhance these initiatives.

Picture This!
Graphic facilitation adds another layer of clarity to communication--a visual language--to help people with diverse ideas, beliefs, and learning styles work and think together. By tightly integrating words with visual images, people can see "at a glance the key parts of a whole and their relations, thereby allowing a holistic understanding that words alone cannot convey" (Jones, Pierce, & Hunter).
This workshop will offer participants an accelerated learning experience in graphic recording and facilitation. Through a series of structured practice sessions, participants will develop basic skills in using visual language to record the give and take of conversation during meetings. Examples of visual strategic planning and problem solving tools that a facilitator can use to organize information "in the moment" will be demonstrated.
