As a Life Skills Worker, I was part of a team supporting people who live in a communal setting and are experiencing mental health and addiction issues. I was to able to assist them to fulfill their goals identified in their individualized support plan.What I liked most about this job was that I was able to fit into the team fairly quickly, and felt like a family atmosphere more than a workplace. I was able to use humour and music as part of my practice, and it aided in building strong relationships with the individuals that I supported.

My main focus of this job was to support three young men as they transitioned out of foster care and prepare them for independent living in the community. Life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting and doing chores were taught, as well as positive interactions with others, how to positively deal with behaviours and feelings. The best part of the job was connecting them with the community, as well as providing tools for them to prepare for employment (ie. resume writing and job searching), and exploring career opportunities after completing High School. I supported one youth in the smooth transition into another family home, find a new doctor, and become established at a new school. Another part of my job, that I enjoyed, was working with one of the youth on gardening and taking care of farm animals.
