To access our program an individual must meet the following criteria:
• Have sustained a brain injury
• Be 18 or older
• Live independently (meaning they do not live in a staffed facility)
When sending a referral, we do appreciate attached medical proof of brain injury, but this is not necessary. After receiving a referral, we connect with the client and complete an intake and a needs assessment.
Our program is client focused and strengths-based. As Service Coordinators we assess needs, connect individuals to appropriate resources; which often include Income Supports, Mental Health Supports, In Home Supports, and assist individuals in navigating these processes. Our goal in to increase independence, to that end, we offer a Supports for Community Living Program assisting clients with life skills and rehab goals. This program offers dedicated client hours to work toward specific goals; that can include bus training, cooking, or implementing compensatory strategies as well as affective supports.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions and thank you for your time.
Warm Regards,
Monica Davis
