Life Skills
Empowerment, Self-Efficacy, Confidence, Pride
Life Skills, the practiced ability to complete daily tasks for oneself, are crucial and a fundamental need for all individuals. The capacity to learn, problem solve
and make decisions is essential for an individual to feel a sense of independence and self-efficacy.
From planning and preparing meals, to cleaning their cottage, to using the laundry machines, guests have several opportunities to develop independent living skills. There are also elective activities each day that focus on developing greater skill and comfort in areas related to cooking, baking, small home repairs, personal fitness, writing, financial literacy, and more.
Discussions and workshops in small and large group settings about topics related to healthy lifestyle, safe and appropriate online communication, kitchen safety, first aid skills, respectful relationships, and more.
Our advisors lead and instruct our guests in areas that will help them to live more independently with confidence.
