To have something to look at and help remind me of good things when times are hard. To have things written down
that will help when I want to work towards doing something different. Also so that people will know what I want to
happen in case of an emergency or crisis.

Jean, my case manager
Kevin, my room mate

My Own Plan
What is Important to Me What do I want other people to know about the things that are important to me?
Who are the people that are most important to me? What do I do with them? What
are the things that I have to do (and things I need to have) if I am going to be
happy?
living “free and happy” New Things I Have Learned About Myself

ELP Learning Community (Page 5)
My Own Plan
What Others Need to Know If I am going to have the things that are important to me, and stay healthy and
or Do to Support Me safe, what do people need to know about me? What do they need to do? How do I
need to be supported at home, at work, and when I am out in my community?
Really listen to me when I’m stressed or upset. New Things I Have Learned About Myself
Show concern. Don’t dismiss me or the feelings
I’m having
I’m really sensitive and get hurt easily by what
people say and do Don’t mistreat me
The bad things from my past make things hard for
me today. Be understanding and help me to
remember it’s in the past and “today’s a new day”
I do not like to be alone. That’s when things get
harder for me. It’s easier to have others around
Trust is hard for me, but I work at it. Don’t do
things that will damage trust we have with each
other
I HAVE TO have people around me who I can talk
to. It’s what gets me past the hard times. Work to
understand me and be supportive
I have had a lot of painful losses in my life; that’s
the hardest thing for me to deal with
If people point out the good things that I have
now, it helps me to feel better and to smile
When you talk with me, keep things brief or in
“short thoughts”. At times it’s hard to focus
Managing money and budgeting is a stressor for
Mike. Help him with that so that he will be more
successful when he moves to his own place.

My Own Plan
What Other People Need to Know Do I have medical conditions or mental health issues that other people
or Do to Help Me Stay Healthy and should know about? Are there times when I need help in managing my
Safe medical or mental health?
When I’m anxious, I have to talk it out. It’s when New Things I Have Learned About Myself
people need to listen more and talk less.
When Mike’s really stressed, he’ll talk a lot and
won’t be very focused in his thinking. (That’s how
you’ll know he’s stressed)
It works well to be reflective in your listening;
gently bring Mike back to thinking about the good
things he has in his life now
Sometimes I don’t think that I have chronic
schizophrenia. When things get hard, remind me
that I have a disease, and that’s probably a big
part of the hard time I’m having
Talking about not having drugs and alcohol in my
life makes it easier for me. I want to about it
ONLY with people who don’t use drugs and alcohol
in their life
Keeping the talk about not using drugs and alcohol
in the forefront is important. BUT Mike will not go
to support groups about this because he believes
that the people in the group are still using
Medicine does help me with my disease. Right now
I take Resperidal in the morning and night. It
works best for me to take only ONE medicine at
one time, or else I feel sick
ELP Learning Community (Page 8)
My Own Plan
Usually, taking my medication is not a problem.
When I don’t want to take it, I want you to
“confront” me directly by saying “Michael,
remember your disease. You need to take your
medicine.” That usually works
If I continue to refuse, DO NOT force me to take
them. Try again later. I’ll take them.
If I start to have a crisis and need to be in a
different place for a while, I want to go to respite
and not to the hospital
NO restraints or electro shock, ever!
If I have a crisis or really am not doing well
overall, I want my stepfather to be notified…Joe
Stepdad at (111)555-4321
Mike has hepatitis C and needs help to remember
to monitor this. Help Mike schedule his doctor
appointments
ELP Learning Community (Page 9)
My Own Plan
Things to Figure Out What are the things that I am still trying to “figure out?” What are the things about
me, my condition, or the supports that I get that I don’t understand or where I need
more information? What are the things that are getting in my way?
How to feel better? Why am I losing weight and now New Things I Have Learned About Myself
starting to vomit? Does Mike have lupus or not?
Where and how am I going to live in the
future…once I don’t need to stay at The House?
Finding Mike a safe place to live that’s affordable.
How to keep getting help with my budget when I
live on my own?
Mike makes friends so easily. Where in the town can
he meet more people so he can make more friends?

How Do I Communicate
What is happening What I do What I think it means What others should do
I’ve spent a lot of time I tell you or it looks to you I’m feeling really anxious or Talk me through it. Help me
alone and not talked with like I’m having trouble nervous to focus, to slow down, and
anyone for a while breathing then I’ll calm down
Anytime Look really sad and have I’m thinking and grieving Support me by being gentle
tears or cry over a past loss and talking with me. Sit and
talk for a while, until I’m
feeling better
Someone’s talking with Grinning with a “sly” smile I think that there is Wise up and be honest!

My Own Plan
To Do List, Goals, Action Planning What can I do to make sure things that are working, continue, or change
those things that are not working? What can other people do to keep things
that are working and to change those things that are not working?
Desired Outcome: I want to feel better physically. Get back to feeling healthier and stronger.
Discussion/Justification I think that a big part of feeling down and having hard times is because I’m not taking
as good care of myself as I should. If I felt better physically, maybe I would feel better
overall.
