Here at LDA Care we don’t anticipate ‘smooth sailing’ with the people we are serving. The individuals we support may have experienced abuse, rejection and trauma. Some individuals may exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress, have experienced institutionalisation, and may have missed out on everyday processes of socialisation. Each has inherent and acquired ‘disabilities', however, experience tells us with the right skilled relationship-based support and the opportunity to experience a rich and meaningful life, these individuals can have and be so much more.
