Summary: In this episode Gerry discusses the concept of "person-centered planning" and the PATH (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope) tool, which can be used not only for individuals with intellectual disabilities, but also for their family members and caregivers. Gerry explains how the PATH process works, starting with envisioning a "North Star" or long-term goal, and then breaking that down into smaller, achievable steps. She shares her experiences using this tool, and encourages listeners to consider creating a PATH for themselves, as the paths of family members and individuals with disabilities often parallel each other. Gerry emphasizes the importance of self-care and planning for one's own future, in order to provide the best support for a loved one.
