Developmental Services

We’re there for those who need us most.

Through our Developmental Services Department, YWCA Hamilton offers 24-hour Residential and Supported Independent Living programs that support adults with differing levels of independence and abilities. Services are designed to support individuals 18 years and older in building life skills, community safety skills, as well as in promoting community participation and social inclusion, which are key factors in developing lasting relationships.

Our Community Participation Day Programs focus on delivering engaging recreational activities outside the home that promote health and wellness, build self-esteem, empowerment and social connections geared to both younger and older adults. The following is a list of Community Participation Day Programs currently offered by YWCA Hamilton:

  • Imagine Day Program (in-person small groups by DSO referral)
  • Fee-For-Service Programs (in-person by self-referral)
