We Care NSW is working with a small number of participants with an identified goal of transitioning from supported independent living to more independent living arrangements within the community through intentional capacity-building programs inside and outside of the home environment. We Care NSW are doing this by creating individual care teams for participants who will help them in implementing evidence-informed, co-designed intensive skill building plans tailored to the participant’s individual needs and circumstances. These plans are implemented as a part of the participant’s everyday life which allows capacity to be built naturally within the home and community over time.
