OUR REHABILITATION PROGRAM

 

People come to us directly off the streets,through field workers' referrals,public interventions OR referrals from OTHER organizations.

 

Our initial assessment includes finding out about the person's origin,as well as their current situation.THIS in turn leads to a MORE intensive interview with the social worker,after which a decision is then taken on the way forward for the specific individual.The shelter has the following  three phases in operation:

1.  Initial Phase(a one month probation phase). During THIS phase the individual's needs and functionality(both physical AND mental) are assessed and a personal development plan is fprmulated,should the individual be willing to make a REAL change.

2.  First Phase(a three to six months rehabilitation phase). During THIS phase,which focuses on rehabilitation,the personal development plan is implemented(both in AND outside-house  programs). A holistic approach to rehabilitation is followed,concentrating on the physical,emotional AND spiritual well being of the individual.

3.  Second Phase(re-integration Phase).At THIS phase the exit plan from the shelter is intensified with attention being given to the sustainability of income and future accommodation in order to effect a successsful and lasting re-integration into society.

P.S: The shelter ALSO provides: free assistance with job seeking,CV services,as well as utilizing our business partners AND internet job sites.During the program individuals are taught computor skills,arts and crafts,gardening,biblical studies etc.
