ADULT &
YOUTH SERVICES
Outreach
Approximately 50 people who live independently or with their
families are served annually
through this program. Individuals may receive long-
or short-term supports, with the goal being to develop the skills
that will help them become more independent, lead more meaningful
lives, and be able to more fully participate in their
community. The hours of support per month are based on
the needs and goals of each individual, but typically would not
exceed 20 hours per month.
In addition to one-to-one supports, the Outreach department
offers a community kitchen once a week, where
approximately 16 to 20 individuals develop peer relationships, plan
and shop for healthy meals, and develop their cooking
skills.
“To help someone become self-sufficient is greatly
satisfying to watch.”

Seniors Outreach
Many adults or youth supported by BACI are currently living at
home with their elderly parents. Because of our strong commitment
to supporting individuals and families through life transitions, we
offer parents assistance in identifying appropriate resources and
in planning strategies for the future of their son or
daughter. Examples of assistance include workshops on
wills and estates, Representation Agreements, trusts and taxes, and
establishing a vision of a quality of life for their child.
For further information, please call 604. 299. 7851.
