ILS (Independent Living Skills)

"Even though there are days when I feel that I'm not making a difference, I have days when someone says 'thanks for all the hard work you do -- I really appreciate it.' When I hear that I realize that I am making a difference, it is just hard to see at times. The little things are what matter." -- Mallory, ILS Mental Health Worker

For some people living with mental illness, "recovery" may mean taking on the challenge of learning something new, or perhaps making plans to enjoy the company of friends. One fundamental component of recovery is responsibility -- learning to manage the details of daily life and taking care of one's needs. But for some people living with mental illness, getting through everyday errands and routinues can be a challenge.

Support for learning and maintaining independent living skills is the focus of our ILS services. ILS services include training, teaching, assistance or supervision to develop and maintain independent living skills and to support the individual’s participation in the community. In order to be eligible for ILS services, the individual must have either a CADI (Community Alternatives for Disabled Individuals) or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) Waiver. Waivered services provide a community alternative to individuals who would otherwise require the level of care provided in a nursing facility. For information about the waiver, contact your local county public health or social service agency.
