# Legal & Financial Planning — Future Planning — Charting the LifeCourse (Free Kansas Resources)

- **[Charting the LifeCourse](https://www.lifecoursetools.com/)** is a future-planning framework from the UMKC Institute for Human Development (LifeCourse Nexus) that helps families build a vision for a good life, map supports and relationships, and plan for what comes next at every stage — from a new diagnosis through adulthood — *[KDADS via Tyler Davidson, Jul 2026](https://www.lifecoursetools.com/)*

- **Charting What's Next: Future Planning Workshops** — a free, KDADS-funded six-part virtual series for Kansas families, run periodically (most recently Tuesdays, Aug 11 – Sep 15, 2026). The six sessions: Getting to Know My Family Member, Planning for a Good Life, Building a Life Vision, Integrating Supports, Mapping Relationships, and Supporting Decisions. Attend any or all — see our [Community Events page](https://fwmparents.org/community-events/) when a series is running — *[KDADS via Tyler Davidson, Jul 2026](https://www.kdads.ks.gov/services-programs/long-term-services-supports/home-and-community-based-services-hcbs/initiatives/person-centered-transformation-initiative)*

- **[Dani Plan](https://daniplan.com/)** — a secure digital platform for organizing your family member's important documents and information in one place, with the Charting the LifeCourse future-planning tools (plus prompts and examples) built directly in. **KDADS offers Kansas families a FREE three-year subscription** — request an access code through the KDADS Person-Centered Transformation Initiative announcements — *[KDADS via Tyler Davidson, Jul 2026](https://daniplan.com/)*

- **Good Life Groups** — a free monthly virtual gathering (12:30–2:00 PM) where Kansas families use the LifeCourse framework to connect, share ideas, and explore what a "good life" looks like now and in the future; each month covers a life domain (daily life & employment, community living, healthy living, safety & security, social & spirituality, advocacy & engagement). [Register once](https://umsystem.zoom.us/meeting/register/ieMYlYTZQuuxGxGkBbGyZw) and Zoom sends the link for every monthly meeting — *[KDADS via Tyler Davidson, Jul 2026](https://www.lifecoursetools.com/network/chapters/kansas/)*

- The practical hub for all of these offerings is the **[LifeCourse Nexus Kansas chapter page](https://www.lifecoursetools.com/network/chapters/kansas/)** (meeting dates, registration links, and other free Kansas trainings); announcements also go out through the [KDADS Person-Centered Transformation Initiative](https://www.kdads.ks.gov/services-programs/long-term-services-supports/home-and-community-based-services-hcbs/initiatives/person-centered-transformation-initiative) family email list — *[KDADS via Tyler Davidson, Jul 2026](https://www.lifecoursetools.com/network/chapters/kansas/)*
