Life Skills

Our Life Skills Services are community-based, individualized, and designed to promote
inclusion in the community. These services support participants in developing practical skills that
foster independence, confidence, and meaningful participation in their home and community.
The purpose of Life Skills Services is to support individuals in achieving one or more personal
development goals identified in their service plan, using a person-centered and
strengths-based approach.

growth.
