Things that are important TO a person are those things that make a person feel happy, content, and fulfilled. Things that are important FOR a person are those things related to a person being healthy, safe, and a valued member of the community. For example, the person’s One Page Profile says, “likes to walk around the house naked, but roommates don’t like it and this causes problems with their relationships.” Or, “likes to pick up sticks in the roadway, but doesn’t look both ways and should.” These statements talk about what is important TO the person, but then go on to explain why what is important TO the person is not safe or appropriate. Make sure the things listed in the “important TO” section are purely those things that are important TO the person. Another common error is using short, cryptic phrases. If a person’s One Page Profile says that ‘music’ is important TO them, that doesn’t tell others enough about what music means to the person. Does she like to perform music? Listen to music? Collect music? What kind of music does she like? With lack of information, we put our own perspective on things, so give a little more information about what loving music means to the person. Another common error found with One Page Profiles is writing the same, generic information on everyone’s profile. The basics should be assumed. We all want and deserve to have our basic needs met, like food, clothing, shelter, and freedom from abuse. Unless the person is telling you these things are a particular priority in their life, it’s okay to leave them out, in favor of including more details that are unique to the person. For example, if a person has experienced homelessness and they want their supporters to know that they never want to be in that situation again, then of course include it. Follow the person’s lead on what to include and what to leave out. The point here is that the One Page Profile should be specific enough to know that it is the person’s One Page Profile and not someone else's. Learn more about One Page Profiles at . & ISP
