Services
At Everybody Counts, we provide many services to our consumers. If we
can in fact be
of assistance to you, our main goal is to help you in any way we can to
lead the most independent life you possibly can. The four core services
we provide are:
I. Information & Referral
Providing
general information or written material via telephone conversation or in
person. Or, if necessary, referral to another agency or service provider for
further assistance.
II. Advocacy
Systemic Advocacy is a means by which the Center can facilitate
collaborative effort among persons with disabilities and others
interested in improving community options for independent living.
Individual Advocacy can be services to assist in obtaining access to
benefits, services and/or programs to which a person with disability may
be entitled.
III. Peer Support
One-on-one support, group discussion and other activities to aid in
coping skills and
problem solving. Empathy, understanding
and assistance from others who have
"been there" themselves and want to
help.
IV. Independent Living Skills Training
Individual direction and group instruction in financial management,
daily living, personal care, social skills, communication,
assertiveness, accessing and utilizing
any and all available
resources to achieve independence.
