The Lowdown
Learn and develop new skills within a small supportive group on this Independent Living Experience with Johnny H.
An Independent Living Experience involves a short trip away within a small group where we build the skills, confidence and motivation needed to be self-sufficient in our daily lives.
Over the 3 days away our small ladies group will work through a checklist of activities and tasks designed to build independence within a safe and encouraging environment.
Focus areas include, but are not limited to:
- Time management
- Diet and Nutrition
- Personal Care
- Money Management
- Meal Preparation
- Communication
- Decisions and Choices
- Daily Navigation
Spaces are limited to three to allow the group leader to provide personalised care and attention to each person and the group as a whole.
In a nutshell:
- 3 days, 2 nights
- Location within 3 hours of Penrith
- Small group of 3 people plus support person
- Support ratio of 1:3
- No participant cost
- Travel, accommodation, meals, activities and support included in price
- Funded from STA Core Funding based on final group ratio
