Capacity building and skills development play a key role in supporting long-term independence. Rather than doing tasks for participants, effective support focuses on building confidence, capability, and decision-making skills over time.

Skills development may include:

  • Building daily living routines
  • Improving communication and social skills
  • Learning budgeting and planning skills
  • Developing confidence in community settings

Support is delivered at an individual pace and adapted as skills progress. The goal is not speed, but sustainability — supporting participants to manage tasks independently wherever possible.

At Connecting Care Support Services, skills development is embedded across our supports, helping participants build confidence and independence in everyday life.
