EW Tipping Foundation - DirectLife Independent Living Program
The DirectLife program supports people with disabilities who want to be in charge of their own life and live independently in the community.
The DirectLife facilitator:
- Gets to know each individual and finds out their dreams and goals
- Helps them to work out living arrangements, such as:
- Working out where to get help
Finding someone they could share with - Drawing up an agreement about how a shared house might run
- Helps form a support council of people nominated by the participant
- Links individuals with others in the program as an opportunity to make friends
