Life Skills - Magic Pouch

The Life Skills Program is the newest program at Friends for Life. Trainers work with adults with Intellectual Disabilities living in nursing facilities to encourage and develop more independence in daily life.

The actual training activities are designed especially for each individual, depending on the abilities and goals of that person. While the training activities are important, the daily visit from someone who genuinely cares and wants to spend time with you means everything to the clients in the Life Skills program.

Our Life Skill Trainers receive a Magic Pouch, a bag of supplies appropriate to each client, and replenish it as needed.
