- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) skills
- Family interventions and coordination
- Physical health monitoring and advocacy
- Vocational/rehabilitation interventions
- Living skills training tailored to the individual’s needs
- Work closely with individuals and families to promote spiritual and psychosocial well-being, emphasising independence and a positive long-term outlook.
