How We Help
Our Clients and Us
Empowered Living listen to the things that bother it’s service users; what they want to do and achieve, how they want to live, what works for them and what doesn’t.
Empowered Living…
is about each service user as an individual person, their needs, their goals, dreams, aspirations, family, friends and community
works on ‘why’ each service users acts as they do and ‘how’ those supporting them can respond in a way that works for the service user and meet their needs
gives service users the motivation to engage with others living within their local community leading to the building of strong relationships
uses methods such as education, skill development and communication enabling service users to achieve as much independence as possible
employs Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), creates strategies such as ‘shaping’, ‘chaining’, ‘social stories’ and ‘reinforcement based practices’ to transform service user behaviour and to improve lives

Staying Connected
That’s why we encourage regular visits, but realise this is not always possible. As such, we have introduced a Facebook-based service that helps families stay in touch and view updates and pictures on residents’ progress and any activities they have been involved in. All service users’ accounts are private and can only be viewed by authorised family members.
We also have Skype video-calling, should you wish to see and talk to a service user in real time. Of course residents and families can also keep in touch by phone, with some service users also able to use email on their own computers.
