Our Model
Venture Academy's Independent Living Program provides residential monitoring, counseling and support services to males and females ages 18 to 25 (and up) who are experiencing difficulties managing their lives at home, or in the community. Participants reside in Venture Academy supported accommodations while striving to enhance their independent living skills with support, supervision and guidance from a Venture Academy counsellor.

Typically, Venture Academy's Therapeutic Support Homes program serves a client population who may have a history of family difficulties, drug or alcohol abuse, school or employment difficulties, negative peer relationships, residency issues, problems with the legal system, clinically diagnosed disorders and other significant behavioural challenges.

Individualized Services
During the admission process, the applicant and parent or guardian are asked to submit a confidential interest survey and screening assessment in order to determine the client's strengths, needs, preferences, interests and abilities.

This information is the basis on which Venture Academy will establish goals, determine service objectives and develop a plan of care with the applicant. The proposed Individual Service Plan will guide Venture Academy's therapeutic approach and intervention methods with the applicant.

Holistic Approach
At Venture Academy, our approach is holistic in nature. We believe in developing the whole person. This is why we have developed and offer a continuum of personal growth modules and practical experiential learning sessions targeting essential developmental skills. Counseling and skill building sessions include emotional growth support, post-secondary education exploration, and work force exposure.
Self care expectations and independent living skills are the focus. Daily living tasks are enhanced and refined. In Venture Academy's Independent Living Program individuals gain independence while parents are assured of supervision and accountability.

We support young people in developing and implementing strategies that improve their everyday functioning and have an ongoing positive impact on the quality of their lives. We focus on solutions and skill building.
