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.
