The SEMI INDEPENDENT LIVING Program (SILP)

Introduction:

• Semi-Independent Living Program participants either live independently or are working towards this goal. Participants are supported in the community and in their homes so they can build life skills and live as independently as possible. This support includes assistance with every day matters, such as budgeting, grocery shopping, laundry, personal appointments, and communicating with various government agencies.

Referrals:

• Referrals are made through Community Living British Columbia (CLBC).

The SELF HELP SKILLS Program (SHS)

Introduction:

• Self-Help Skills Program participants focus on social skills and recreational activities. Participants engage in person-centered planning to set goals and identify activities to support achieving these goals. Participants receive one-to-one support as they engage in these activities and access the community. The program also offers a cooking class one night a week where participants work through quarterly modules in order to build skills and create a cookbook for personal use.
