Lifeskills has a range of supports designed to help you develop independence to the best of your ability. Budgeting, food preparation, cooking, travel training, personal development and community engagement are just some of the supports we have to offer. While these activities are usually offered in as group setting either on campus or in the community, they are also available one-to-one (head to the One-to-One page to find out how).
