Situation #4

You schedule a person-centered planning meeting with Simon and his Circle of Support. During the conversation, you focus on the person's hopes, wants and needs. His mother interrupts at one point and says, "I'm not fully on board with Simon leaving our home. First off, he doesn't have the money to live in a nice enough place. Secondly, what if something happens to him? He needs me to help him!"
