A
SUPPORTED LIFE is a life that is rich in qualities a person most
desires, and one which shows how connected we all are to each other.
A
life which:
- grows
from a person's own choices, desires and dreams;
- is
not controlled by what kind of services are currently available;
- goes
beyond just meeting a person's basic needs, to reaching a rich quality
of life;
- includes
all areas of a person's life;
- is
always changing throughout a person's life;
- is
the kind of life we all want and is not unique to people who happen
to have disabilities.

Are you interested in being a Facilitator
who assists a member of Alta Regional Center’s
Board of Directors?
|
People who use Alta Regional Center services are joining
advisory committees and boards of directors to share their
views.
Alta’s Board of Directors assures its
members who have disabilities have the
assistance they need by providing a support person or
“facilitator.”
Members select facilitators who
assist them with carrying out their duties on the
Board and Committees.
The Supported Life Institute is available to help with
the selection, payment and training of facilitators.
To learn more about being a facilitator, contact Supported Life Institute
