              Description:
            
            Typically, clients in the Beginnings program have needs that prevent them from participating in Traverse Independence Opportunity Centre programs. Beginnings offers more structure and quiet, and a smaller number of clients participate in its programs.
Beginnings gives you an opportunity to socialize, build friendships, relearn skills and develop new ones. Beginnings has an accessible setting where attendant services, behavioural facilitators, and life skills staff are available on a higher staff ratio than at the Opportunity Centre programs. A free lunch is provided.
