One to one work: Course length dependent on individual needs 

We work on a one to one basis with individuals to establish a lifestyle plan for the future, while aiming to develop an inclusive community. We also work with the team supporting the person and their family, offering mentoring to establish more person centred working practices.

 

We support the individual and family members to develop a circle of support that will help the person‘s life stay rooted in their community.
