What This Looks Like For You

Building The Skills For Everyday Life

Peter Calderone, Reach My Potential

Building Everyday Independence

Life skills support covers everything that helps a day run well: getting somewhere on your own, managing money, planning ahead, working through a tricky moment calmly, or simply feeling more confident moving through the world. Some of it happens at home, like cooking a meal or managing a routine, but just as much happens out and about, on public transport, at the shops or in a new situation that needs working through. We build these skills together, in real situations, so what you learn on a Tuesday still works on a Wednesday.

  • Money skills, planning and everyday routines
  • Getting around: transport and travel confidence
  • Coping strategies for tricky situations

Common Questions

Daily Living Support, Explained

Not at home only, and not only about the house. Life skills support might mean cooking together one week and working through a bus route the next, building the confidence to handle a tricky conversation or planning a budget that actually holds up. Wherever the skill needs building, that's where we show up.

Yes. Day-to-day assistance is usually funded from the Core budget in your plan, and where the focus is on learning new skills it can also draw on your capacity building funding. Tell us what's in your plan and we'll explain clearly what it covers, and we're happy to talk it through with your plan manager or support coordinator too.

Yes, we support people of all ages, and with children the work always involves the whole family. You'll know what each visit is building toward, and we'll leave you with strategies that keep helping between sessions, from visual routines to step-by-step task guides.

That depends on your goals and your plan: for some people it's a couple of hours a week around one routine, for others it's daily support across the household. We'll suggest a starting rhythm at your first planning chat, then adjust it as your independence grows.
