Personalized Supports

Providing individualized support to vulnerable adults who have limitations in adaptive functioning

Personalized Supports Initiative is an innovative program providing individualized support to vulnerable adults who have limitations in adaptive functioning. The program is offered both in Port Alberni and Nanaimo. It offers individuals a personalized approach to increase independence and overcome challenges in pursuit of their goals.

Success Story

Sam and her Emotional-Support Cat, Black Puss

"Black Puss is essentially a support animal for my mental health.  Without her I would feel isolated.  It has strongly affected my well-being knowing that Black Puss is safe, healthy, and taken care of. 

Thank you for helping me give Black Puss a pain free life and worry free for me."
