Our Community Access and Self Care services support you to encourage independence and improve your everyday life skills.
Community Access and Self Care can be almost anything you want it to be. Community Access and Self Care is a one to one service that helps you with everyday life skills and tasks that will build your independence.
Our Community Access and Self Care team can work with you in a number of different ways, depending on your specific needs. This may include:
- Community participation, like supporting you to attend appointments, support with grocery shopping, or access social activities of your choice
- Self-care, including learning skills in your home like cleaning and cooking
- Capacity building, including travel training, parenting training and budgeting support
- In-home support when your usual support network is unavailable
If there is an activity you would like to join but haven’t yet been able to, Interaction can tailor a program to your exact needs and likes with one-to-one support.
