Assistance with Life Stage Transition provides short- and long-term support to strengthen participants’ abilities, independence and choices during significant changes in their lives. Transitions such as moving out of home, starting university, TAFE or other study, or entering employment can be exciting but may also bring emotional and practical challenges. For people with disability, these changes can involve additional barriers, new environments and unfamiliar routines.
Kindly Care Australia works alongside participants to plan and prepare for these changes, identify potential challenges and put practical supports in place. Our aim is to reduce barriers, build confidence and help participants develop the skills they need to manage change and adjust to new environments. We provide personalised support throughout the transition, helping participants make informed choices, maintain their independence and work towards a positive and successful outcome.
Some of our supports for life stage transitions include:
- Support connection and coordination
- Capacity building skills
- Development of independent self-care and living skills
- Crisis and conflict resolution
- Daily planning and Budgeting
- Establishing supportive networks in the participant’s communal setup
- Linking our support to other supportive community services and programs
- Mentoring and peer support
- Individual skill development
- Assistance with decision making and planning
