All consumers are provided with opportunities to develop personal growth and self esteem by visiting web sites on the internet, films or discussion groups on rights and self advocacy. 

Monthly meetings are held with the consumers in each area to discuss safety training and any issues or ideas for the program.

Consumers help arrange and schedule outings to places of their choice such as miniature golf, bowling, a nature walk, lunch, library or a museum visit.
