How do you decide which skills to work on first?

You decide, with us alongside you. We start with a chat about what you'd like to do more of on your own, whether that's catching the train to work, managing a weekly budget or cooking for friends. Then we set achievable goals together and check in regularly so you can see your progress.

Can life skills support happen out in the community?

Absolutely. Many skills are easiest to build in the place you'll use them, so your support worker might practise reading a timetable at Sunshine Station with you, compare prices at the supermarket or help you prepare for a job interview. We support you at home, in the community and wherever your goals take you.

Will my support worker do things for me?

Your support worker stays beside you rather than taking over, because life skills support is about building your own confidence and ability. Over time you may need less help with a task you've mastered, which leaves more of your support for the next goal you'd like to work towards.
