Our services are truly individualized services and will be developed with client needs, wishes and input as the focus. Services will be provided with respect in regard to community values and cultural diversity. Problem solving on the part of client will be a key focus in all services provided. All services will be provided in accordance with the Individual Service Plans (ISP) developed by each individual’s social worker or case manager.
