L.I.F.E. stands for Learning, Inclusion, Friendship, and Employment (L.I.F.E.). This program supports people as they work towards employment goals, improved confidence, and meaningful relationships all while connecting directly to the community. L.I.F.E. utilizes both direct support (in-person meetings, phone calls, etc.) and indirect support (research, planning, or networking on behalf of a program participant). L.I.F.E. encourages flexibility and understands that a person’s goals and needs change over time. Unlike day programs or other community inclusion services, L.I.F.E. services don’t take place on set hours. Instead, participation is based upon a person’s needs. By working together with staff through regular check-ins and evaluations, CISS is able to uniquely personalize how, when, and where services are incorporated.
