Community Support promotes full inclusion for adults with intellectual challenges living in the community. We focus on individual responses and assist people to achieve personal outcomes through the development of a person-directed plan. We facilitate the removal of barriers to participation in the community. This may include barriers such as financial, physical or transportation.
Common areas supported through this department:

The Passport Program is a program that assists people who have received individualized funding for community participation by providing supports including assisting with developing social and life skills as well as participating in a variety of leisure opportunities in the community.
