Person Centeredness

To enable people to find the right support to live their desired lifestyle with the emphasis on the individual achieving their full potential, personal goals and dreams, whilst being supported to be valued members of their community.

Underpinning C-Changes mission statement is the value base of person centeredness.

Being person Centred means that you have the ability to show the three core conditions:- Empathy, Congruence and Unconditional Positive Regard. To empathise with someone is the capacity to sense accurately someone's feelings. Congruence is the ability to be genuine and completely honest with someone. And Unconditional positive regard means a respect for people regardless of what your thoughts feelings or prejudice.

After all, "all individuals are worthwhile just because they are human beings." Carl Rogers

Person Centeredness flows through and underpins everything that C-Change stand for and all of our working practices. This includes things such as recruitment, training, service funds as well as the day to day support that the people we work for receive. So no matter what area of the organisation you are working in you will be working to a person centred value base.
