Community Inclusion and Social Connections
You've Gotta Have Friends is a group working to ensure Langley citizens, including those with a disability, have caring people involved in their lives with whom they share friendship and a sense of belonging. You've Gotta Have Friends is sponsored by the Langley Association for Community Living. This initiative seeks to address the fact that while many people have "services", this does not always lead to having a “good life.”
Williams Lake Association for Community Living has decided to use savings generated from the closure of a group home to create a position that will augment their existing Community Integration Program. Instead of increasing staffing at the Centre, this position will use a "one person at a time" approach to enable the program to:
- Provide individuals with increased community time
- Assist individuals to develop support networks by making connections with individuals and groups in the community, with the goal that the individual will eventually be able to participate without staff support
- Assist individuals with accessing generic community supports
