Bryan and Bill - A Success Story

Living Well means living the healthiest life possible.  It also means living “a good life”, a life filled with friends and activities of our choice.  

The Stevens Center’s Living Well program was pilot funded in part by the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities.  It is now supported by local contributions. It is designed to help people with developmental disabilities to live well by:

  • empowering adults with developmental disabilities to live healthier and more active lifestyles by providing information needed to make informed health choices and
  • providing support to adults with developmental disabilities as they pursue more active and healthy lifestyles.
Who Can Be Involved in Living Well?
  • If you are a person with a developmental disability, live in Lee County or within 10 miles of Sanford, you qualify to be matched with a community companion who is interested in doing the kinds of things you want to do.
  • If you are a member of our community, you can be matched with a person with a developmental disability. 
  1.

We will provide training and support for you in this chance to improve the quality of life for a person with a disability.

  2.
After training, you must be willing to give a minimum of 2 hours per month for 12 months for community involvement.
  3.
Examples of community involvement include walking at Kiwanis Park, using free passes at Sanford Nautilus (which we will provide), attending a weight loss program, or a social activity.
  • If you are a CCCC student, you can receive free training to equip you in your career to effectively and respectfully meet the needs of people with disabilities.
  •  If you are a family member or staff working with a person with a disability who is involved in Living Well, you can receive free training on community supports.
