WICS is a not- for- profit, private organization. The service delivery model is based on a mobile team concept that provides flexible, responsive and individualized supports. This model is utilized to promote customer directed services, greater opportunity for citizenship and the development of meaningful relationships. We believe that the services can be effectively delivered when the customer, and not the agency, directs them. The development and maintenance of relationships is of the utmost importance.
High priority is given to planning with the customer so that goals and aspirations are achieved effectively through a process of weekly review, updating and planning by the team. Any planning at WICS is a fluid plan that changes and evolves with the person.
The objective of the organization is to work with the individuals and families to create and implement a plan that will assist them to become a vital part of their community, and a true citizen.
A person centered, non-facility based approach to service, to best meet individual needs. Individual advocacy will be encouraged and supported. Wellness and personal safety will be a priority. The organization only engages staff that are interested in supporting people in creative and innovative ways and who understand the importance of belonging and citizenship.
