I'm totally confused on what things might mean (Adult Protective Social worker and PCW)

So I'm looking into things and I'm getting totally bamboozled with words I don't understand.  I might understand the words but I don't know what that actually means.   Like what is an Adult Protective Service Worker suppose to do? 

This is what it says on the provincial Development services site for (APSWs)

  • learn about community supports and ministry-funded services.
  • identify your strengths and needs.
  • stay informed about supports and direct you to the ones you need.
  • develop problem-solving and life skills, like budgeting and learning to use public transportation.


I don't need any help with how to use public transportation I been doing that for years on my own or with my Mom. 



On another website I'm looking into different things and in a Particpation House thing..  something I could look into is Personal Centered Planning. (PCP) and I have no idea what that means in the first place.  


I do have ideas of potential goals for me to use for PCP.  

1.  volunteer more

2. Living skills (have minor goals here)

3. Theaparist.

@Disneywoman

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Can you ask them, or find out the next step somehow? 

I know how frustrating this must be, hopefully others will reply with some helpful ideas.
