Success Stories
What STA with INREACH Supports Could Look Like
Emma's story is an example of what a short-term accommodation (STA) stay with INREACH Supports might be like.
Emma wanted a break from her usual routine. During her stay, she got involved in fun activities, made new friends, and felt more confident doing everyday things on her own. Her carers were happy too — knowing she was in a safe, supportive place where she could enjoy herself and build new skills.
STA is designed to give both participants and their families a chance to rest, recharge, and grow.
