Envision Unlimited

Community Living ServicesEnvision empowers residents in its Community Living Programs to reach their potential for independent living. Services and supports focus on skill acquisition, with a core belief that all persons can be functioning and contributing members of their communities. Programs are provided to adults with an intellectual and developmental disabilities in a variety of settings, ranging from 24-hour Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) homes, intermittent support, a Host Family program, respite care, and short-term stabilization options. Each resident has an individual, person-centered plan to outline the type and frequency of services and supports they desire and require.

Mental Health ServicesEnvision Unlimited's Mental Health Program offers outpatient psychiatric services, residential services, and psychosocial rehabilitation for clients with severe and persistent mental illnesses. We utilize a recovery model in which clients direct their own treatment and collaborate with staff on setting and achieving their wellness goals. We also provide employment services to our Mental Health clients and utilize peer mentors with lived experience to aid in recovery.Some of the most common disorders treated in our clinic include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bi-polar disorder, PTSD, and major depression. Our services are critical to clients who are uninsured/underinsured, as 92% of them are considered low income and cannot afford the high costs of services offered by the private sector. Envision Unlimited focuses on what clients and families desire, regardless of their ability to pay. In addition to having a range of mental illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities, more than 90% of clients live at or below the Federal Poverty Level.

Community Day ServicesEnvision's Community Day Services offer individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) the opportunity to engage in their community, develop support groups outside of the family, as well as provide an environment to cultivate personal interests and vocational skills. Historically, services have been provided in centers serving large groups of individuals. Now, however, services increasingly being shifted from sheltered locations to a Community Hub model that offers social, therapeutic, skill development, job training and placement, creative, and other services, while engaging for- and non-profit community groups to utilize the spaces and interact with Envision program participants.

Specialized Foster CareChildren with disabilities are up to 3.5 times more likely to have experienced abuse or neglect than their non-disabled peers, and when they enter the foster care system, they have unique needs. Envision's Foster Care Program focuses on the wellness of each child and supports foster families in providing a safe, nurturing environment. Children range in age from infant to 18 and come from various backgrounds. Many are single placements, but some have siblings. Some may have developmental disabilities and/or emotional issues. Some have been victims of abuse or neglect. All are in need of the stability and guidance that a secure and loving home environment can provide.
