You have the skills and confidence to be at home on your own, and you are ready to take the next steps towards independence. Independent Living – inspire supports you to explore what it might be like to live independently, either on your own or with housemates.  Use these skills to bring more independence in your current living arrangement.

Work with a group of your peers to develop skills such as budgeting, writing a shopping list, shopping and cooking. Practice independent travel training to and from local supermarkets, work or daily programs, and explore what your morning and evening routines would be like if you lived independently.

The inspire program builds toward a 3 day/2 night Weekend Away at the end of the program where you can practice all the skills you have learned in your own independent space.
