Charting the LifeCourse for families: Overview

Lifecourse Sq (1)

Charting the LifeCourse™ is a framework to help individuals and families explore and plan for the life they want.

You can use Charting the LifeCourse's family perspective tools to articulate a vision of what you want (and don't want) for your family, to identify and access key supports, and to plan for a good life now and in the future. To learn about or use Charting the LifeCourse's tools for individuals, see Charting the LifeCourse under Hub tools.

Charting the LifeCourse™ was developed by the Charting the LifeCourse Nexus housed at the University of Missouri.
