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.
Connected Communities Services
A case management and life-coaching service for young adults with moderate to severe disabilities to participate meaningfully in the community, built on RC’s Good Life Framework. It includes
- Community network mapping
- Befriender support, including training community partners to support the integration and continued engagement of the young adult.
