We measure our work by what you no longer need, not by hours billed.
Capacity building is the part of a plan aimed at what you can do next, rather than what you need help with today. Budgeting, cooking, catching public transport on your own, making your own appointments, speaking for yourself at a plan review.
It is slower than doing things for you, and it is the reason people leave. The participants we are proudest of are the ones who moved on, and one of them left the scheme altogether.
“With CareVolve's help, I've learned new skills that make my daily life easier. I feel proud of how far I've come.”
Cooking, budgeting, shopping and the household routines that make a week manageable.
Building up to travelling independently, at whatever pace that takes.
Preparation for employment or education, from the cover letter to the nerves on the day.
Practice at saying what you want, so plan reviews stop being something done to you.
The quiet part. Most skills stall on believing you can, not on knowing how.
We keep checking what you no longer need us for, and then we stop doing it.
Have a conversation with Alicia. She will tell you honestly whether CareVolve is the right fit, and point you elsewhere if we are not.
