Purpose of Journey House
Our purpose is primarily to aid young adults with developmental disabilities by gaining the skills and experience necessary to achieve and sustain greater independence. Though each resident may require a varying degree of assistance based on their own unique skills and experience when joining the JH program, it is easily adapted to best suit the individual, with daily living and learning. Once given basic guidelines alongside an environment that encourages active participation and a facilitator to model various life skills, independent living will occur naturally. This is further guaranteed as a result of daily living within a home surrounded by others residents, guidance from the live-in facilitator, and outside assistance (i.e. life coach or other support workers). The ultimate goal is for a resident to become capable of leaving the Journey House program with the skills to live and sustain a healthy and productive life.
How Success is Measured
The Journey House program allows for many increments for success to be measured because of the unique set up. Daily, weekly, and monthly progress is possible for any resident of the home in a variety of ways. Sometimes progress goes unseen or unrealized because of how subtle some life skills are. Values are also different for all residents and parties involved and success can be hard to measure and appreciate. Regardless, for many, success is when an individual presents any signs of progress in regard to greater independence, life skills, greater responsibilities, confidence or anything related to their own personal goals (i.e. organization, personal hygiene, employment etc.).
