How does the Personal Support Team assist individuals?

The Personal Support Team plays a vital role in fostering independence and enhancing the quality of life for individuals in a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA). By assisting with daily living activities and skill training, the team helps individuals develop essential life skills, build confidence, and manage their day-to-day needs effectively. This support enables individuals to participate more fully in their communities and promotes their overall well-being.

Daily living activities may include support with tasks such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and transportation. Skill training focuses on helping individuals learn or improve skills necessary for living independently or engaging in community activities, such as communication, social interaction, and household management.

Through this comprehensive approach, the Personal Support Team goes beyond mere supervision, ensuring that individuals not only receive help but also gain the tools they need for greater self-sufficiency and autonomy. Such support is critical in aiding individuals to achieve their personal goals and aspirations, making it an essential component of the CILA framework.
