Services

Kith and Kin Association Limited runs 3 service types. A Community Access Service, a Community Linking Service, and Accommodation Support. These services are described briefly below:

Community Access Supporting people with disabilities or a mental illness to access a variety of experiences, activities and relationships which are of significance to and valued by the individual. Community access services promote inclusion and participation of people with disabilities or a mental illness in community life and the development of relationships between people with disabilities or a mental illness and other members of the community.  Community access services provide individuals with support and learning opportunities in everyday, real life contexts.

Community Linking Establishing links between residents with a disability or a mental illness and community members. Community linking is achieved through supporting people with disabilities or a mental illness to participate in local community activities in order to develop sustainable relationships.  Examples of this are recreation, social  events,  education, and vocational opportunities consistent with each individual’s personal interests and choice.

Accommodation Support Providing accommodation support to maintain people with disabilities or a mental illness in their own home (either the family home or a home of their own choice) with living arrangements of their own choice that reflect the conditions of everyday life valued by the community. Services should provide personal and lifestyle support arrangements which minimize any difference in living circumstances from that of the community at large and enable the individual to live as independently as possible. Accommodation support services are particularly targeted to people with disabilities or a mental illness who would not be able to remain in (or move into) the general community without support.
