01. How to use it
MAPs are usually used in a meeting between the young person and people they are close to. This is a planning session that will usually last for a few hours. MAPs can also be used on a one to one basis, depending on what the young person wants.
The meeting will ideally include two facilitators, one to ask questions and guide the session and one to graphically record the information gathered. Questions will include things like:
- Who is the person – what are their strengths, gifts and talents?
- What is their story/history?
- What are their dreams and ambitions?
- What are their nightmares? What do we need to avoid?
The MAP process has eight steps. The group will spend time listening to the information about the person, add their thoughts and help them to think about how they can move towards the dreams and away from the nightmares. They will then develop an action plan to achieve this.
