and live independently.
Services are provided in the following areas:

Life skills training such as budgeting and housekeeping.
-
Employability skills training to prepare for, obtain and
maintain employment including interviewing techniques, resume writing, job search planning, and social skills on the job.

Exploration and encouragement of educational, vocational and post-secondary opportunities.
-
Interpersonal skill building, goal setting and conflict resolution.

Substance abuse prevention information; clients may be required to attend treatment for
an addiction as part of their transition plan.
An individualized transition plan is developed with maximum input from each participant. Each program area, depending on
the funding source, has unique criteria for eligibility and services offered may vary. All apartments are considered “scattered site”
and are semi-supervised. They are not owned or operated by Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin.
