Skills Development
Milestones' Skills Development program supports individuals in enhancing their abilities for emotional control, stress and time management, problem solving, conflict resolution and communication, community engagement, and other activities of daily living.
Through coaching, skills education, and training, we support clients in modifying or relieving symptoms that may cause disruption to relationships, social participation, or everyday life. We work with clients, their family, and their staff both in the home and in the community, to strengthen skills everywhere a client needs.
Our Skills Development program is provided as one component of Medicaid Rehabilitation Option services, in partnership with Centerstone. Our partnership with Centerstone enables Milestones to offer Skills Development services to individuals experiencing mental health impairments.
