We aim to work together with an individual to maintain a stable and successful tenancy through providing support, advice and assistance to tenants in their own accommodation. Each individual has his/her own needs and these needs will be considered by the individual and the support worker together and addressed on an individual basis.

The ultimate goal which we work towards is to promote independent living. This goal can be realised though support which includes developing life skills such as:

• impulse control
• warning sign identification
• boundaries and saying ‘no’
• responsibility
• management of anxiety and emotional distress
• budgeting
• housekeeping
• running a home on a low income
• furnishing and decorating on a budget
• parenting
• having healthy relationships
• using public transportation
• nutrition
• exercise

We will resource and refer to other specialist agencies relevant to specific needs. Building confidence, self-esteem and self-assertion are important to promoting independence as is finding an alcohol and drug free support network if required. We are committed to ensuring that users have as much respect, dignity, independence, choice and control over their own lives as possible.
