Individual Skill Development 

Our dedicated team support mentors undergo training to ensure you get the most from our individual skill development program and activities.

 

Our mentors go through the following training specially designed for ANOTHEN Community Care:

• ​Train the skill development mentor - specialised train the trainer in skill development with specialised techniques for various disabilities and conditions.   

• Customising and implementing a skills development plan 

• Tracking progress, making changes and monitoring outcomes 

​

ANOTHEN Community Care does not believe that one package fits all, that's why the first part of you journey with us is to develop your goals and plans together. In the initial stages together, we will discover your learning style, assess your skill levels, consider your ability and a pathway forward to grow your skills, and capacity.
