The Community Care Program brings individuals and families and their supporters together, to work through complicated life issues and make life better.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

• Building a support team of agencies and natural support who help you create a plan to achieve the goals that matter to you.

WHAT  IT’S NOT ABOUT

• No blame, no shame.

FAQ

1. Who is this for? It is for those who are facing complex and difficult life situations. Often with the involvement of multiple agencies.
2. How will this help me?
   Empowerment – you will make the decisions for your future.
   Building relationships – you have the opportunity to connect your family, friends and professional supporters in a unique way.
   Resources – tap into resources you may not know about.
   Partnership – Someone to walk with you through this challenging period of time.
3. How long does it take? This is not a quick-fix solution. The process can take anywhere from 4 months to as long as a year or more.
