Assist in life transition is an important service that N and D offers to individuals. We all at some stage go through changes in our lifetime. Being a new friend circle, new schools, new job, starting to live independently, new education opportunities to enhance an individual’s career.  

We understand these life events or life stages can be difficult and confronting. At N and D support our staff will assist and support the individual throughout each process and help identify and teach life lessons. As progress is made, our service is tailored to each individuals needs and goals and provided with a person-cantered approach, working closely with all stakeholders and family to ensure the service meets the individuals’ goals.

This may include helping individuals identify skills and resources available, then guide the individual in a direction that they wish to follow.

We support each individual to connect with services and organisations, we also provide emotional support to the individua throughout the process and help trouble shoot or approach challenges they face in a team environment that is directed by the individual.
