Skill Building
Programs Menu
Our Southgate location is home to our skill building program, which aims to integrate consumers successfully into society by providing activities that will enhance necessary personal, social and vocational skills.
Click on the program links below for more information on that service.
Main Street
Our skill building staff uses Main Street as a way to provide hands-on vocational training and coaching, as well as reinforcement of social skills, problem-solving skills and money management. Consumers working on the attainment of vocational skills operate Main Street. Main Street is also utilized and open to all consumers visiting the Southgate Clinic.
Goal Oriented Programs
- Relaxation Room
- Independent Living Suite - Practice household activities in a safe, controlled environment
- GED Prep - Three days a week for two hours
Peer Support
People sharing similar experiences have a great deal to offer each other. Our peer support specialists mentor and assist other consumers to achieve community inclusion, participation, independence, recovery, resiliency and productivity. Peers are individuals who have a unique background and skill level from their own experience in utilizing services and supports to achieve personal goals of community membership, independence and productivity.
Peers have a special ability to gain trust and respect of other consumers based on shared experience, perspectives with disabilities, and with planning and negotiating human services systems. Peers also provide emotional and social support in a relaxed setting that is different from a mental health care provider.
Our peer support services include:
- Sharing stories of recovery
- Providing support during crisis
- Vocational and housing assistance
- Helping with support and services planning
- Partnering in the person-centered planning process
- Accessing entitlements
- Developing wellness plans and advanced directives
- Providing continuous guidance for advocacy and support groups
