Goals are developed by each participant with the support of staff and case managers with an emphasis on skill development and social support. Valiente is also an apartment-based service that provides approximately 60 hours of support each week to 13 individuals with serious mental illness. Each program participant lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment in a complex that is centrally located and affords ready access to community resources. Ms. Vicky Wildeman, M.A., supervises the two staff who are located in an apartment in the complex. Program participants are encouraged to identify those areas of skill development and problem solving ability that they need assistance with.
Staff encourage full community integration as well as the development of a peer support network.
Home Care Services are provided to individuals with a developmental disability or with serious mental illness. Home Care Services are overseen by Ms. Claudia Merems. Supports are individually designed based on the needs of the person.
