Our Core Services: Advocacy, Counseling, and Transitional Support

The Peninsula Center for Independent Living is proud to offer the disability community of Hampton a variety of different services. It is our goal to see to it that every disabled person who comes to The Peninsula Center is cared for.

Advocacy

We assist in resolving complaints in housing, education, employment, and community programs.

Peer Counseling

Counseling is a wonderful tool for growth and understanding that we use at The Peninsula Center. We believe that partnering center visitors with a mentor who also has a disability is the best guide to independence.


Information and Referrals

Our information and referral service provides tailored assistance and resources to empower individuals with disabilities, offering guidance and connections to essential support networks for a more inclusive and accessible community.

Independent Living Skills Training

We teach basic skills with the goal of independent living in mind. We provide training in a variety of different areas, including:

- Decision-Making and Goal-Setting
- Budgeting and Money Management
- Self-Advocacy Focusing on Assertiveness
- Landlord and Tenant Responsibilities

Our skills training takes place both at the Center and at various locations throughout our community.

Transition Services

The Center works with youth with disabilities enrolled in high school programs to assist them in acquiring the necessary skills that will allow them to make informed choices about their future and to function independently in the community. Transition services are also provided to assist in the prevention of institutionalization of people with disabilities, as well as assisting institutionalized individuals who transition to the community.


Additional Services

The Peninsula Center for Independent Living improves the lives of disabled persons throughout our community. We gladly accept referrals as a means for assisting individuals and offer workshops and seminars routinely that everyone is welcome to attend. We work together with our community to create choices and opportunities for people with disabilities.
