Services
The emphasis of WHRC's service delivery approach is on the individual receiving the service.
We foster a positive approach to supporting individuals in personal growth, problem-solving and social integration, in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe. Through person-centered planning, good recording and continual review, we ensure that we provide services that reflect the individuals we support. We are always looking to further their self-determination. As we move forward, and the agency further diversifies in the models of service it provides, this responsiveness to individual circumstances and choice will ensure our growth is of real benefit to those we support.
We encourage individual identity and expression in programs that are autonomous yet accountable.
WHRC has strong, healthy relationships with individuals, their families and the professionals involved with them. We involve all stakeholders in monitoring and continuously improving our services, so they reflect the individuals receiving service, their supporters and the community.
The agency has a deep and diverse pool of knowledge, skill and experience among its personnel. Their commitment to the values of community living is encouraged by the policies and systems that guide their daily work.
