S.T.A.R. Program
S.T.A.R. Program - Supporting Transitions to Adult Responsibilities
Welcome to the S.T.A.R. Program!
The goal of the S.T.A.R. Program is for young adults aged 18- 23 in the ADHD/ Learning Disability community to develop the skills and confidence needed to gain independence. Adulthood can be an intimidating prospect, but S.T.A.R. is here to help explain these responsibilities and provide tools to help you prepare!
Through a variety of engaging activities, presentations, guest speakers and real-world volunteering experiences, we will examine the realities of adulthood and prepare for them.
Topics covered include:
- Renting your first home
- Workplace skills and fundamentals
- Post-secondary information and other schooling paths
- Resume workshops and mock- interviews
- Budgeting and finance tips
- Navigating adult relationships
- Time management
- The importance of email and email etiquette
- Gaining relevant certifications (WHIMIS, Pro Serve, etc)
and more!
