four categories

REDIConnects is broken down into four categories

01. Connects

Provides services that promote an individual's inclusion in community activities, personal development, and provide respite support either in the individual's home or outside their home. ​Part of this is outreach, which is being able to provide whatever supports an individual needs be it medication, hygiene, grocery shopping, or budgeting. Whatever we can do to help someone be independent in the community and connecting clients with the support they need.

02. CAPCC

Arranges companions for people who are under the age of 65 and for health reasons, live-in long-term care. They do community outings, spend time together, play games, have coffee, and connect on an individual level. CAPCC ensures these individuals can connect with something valuable in their community. 

03. CDSS

A program funded through the Alberta government's Human Services. It exists to assist Albertans with disabilities who require specialized services that they are unable to access or do not qualify for through other means. ​Community Disability Support Services is a safety net providing triage to understand how individuals need to be served. Through this, REDI shares with the community what our services and supports look like, and provides a warm transfer so that no one is left navigating the system alone. 

04. FASD

The FASD Adult Mentorship program supports individuals aged 16 and older that have suspected or confirmed Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Providing outreach supports, this program supports individuals in multiple ways, such as applying for financial supports, securing housing, budgeting, mental health and addictions supports, support with medical and professional appointments, and daily living activities such as grocery shopping. This program also supports individuals with community inclusion, physical activities, and creative interests.

The FASD Justice Support Program is another program specifically for individuals that have suspected or confirmed Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder that are going through the justice system. Individuals ages 16 and up that have upcoming or ongoing criminal charges are eligible for this program. With collaboration with the Solicitor General, we are able to navigate and advocate for individuals to receive appropriate sentencing that they are able to follow through and be successful with. The goal of the program is to reduce recidivism, connect individuals to community resources and supports, and to educate the community of FASD.
