Life Skills and Residency Program
The Killara Life Skills and Residency Program is a Culturally-safe, wraparound model of service that provides life skill mentoring and support to access appropriate housing options for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
​
Killara Life Skills Coaches are mentors, advocates, and role models. Their role is to support our program participants and help them achieve their goals by ensuring each person receives the necessary skills, stability, and connections to Culture.​
​
​
Skills.
Stability.
Connection.
Stability because if you don’t have adequate housing, it’s hard to sit down and learn. If you don’t have adequate housing, it’s hard to rest and prepare yourself for a day’s work. If you don’t have adequate housing, it’s hard to create a stable and secure place in your community and hold down a job.
Skills because life skills are essential for being able to meet the challenges of everyday life, while work skills are essential for getting, keeping and being successful in a job.
Connection because the more an Indigenous person is connected to their Culture, Community and Country, the more likely that Indigenous person will succeed and grow.
