Young Adults
Approach
Social isolation is one of the key issues faced by young adults with moderate to severe disabilities. Many of them are not in full-time services, employment, or meaningfully engaged with the community. Our post-18 services focus on building connections for young adults to lead engaging lives.
Disability Case Management Programme
Rainbow Centre’s Disability Case Management Programme (DCMP) provides holistic and timely case management and intervention services for persons with disabilities (PwDs) with complex needs and their caregivers. A multidisciplinary team of disability-trained professionals will work towards engaging, supporting and coaching the PwDs, their caregivers and/or other generalist case workers as needed.
DCMP offer services such as:
- Assessment to determine clients’ support needs
- Person-centred, family-focused care plans developed in collaboration with caregivers and other stakeholders
- Positive behavioural support
- Caregiver support including coaching to enhance caregiving capacity
- Facilitated (re)integration with family/community/services
