CQL – Capstone Newsletter June, 2019 - Never a Stranger at My Door
Imagine coming home and when you walk in the door of your home a person greets you, helps you to put away your coat, makes you dinner, then helps you shower, change your clothes, and get ready for bed. Now imagine that you have never met this person before in your life. For some people in full life service, this is their reality on a regular basis. Involving people in the interviewing, training, and evaluation processes for organizational staff - at all levels - sends a strong message that the organization values the opinions of the people receiving services. It supports the person to take control of the important things in their lives - to lead self-directed lives. It increases the likelihood that there will never be a stranger at the person’s door to provide support.
