CLSR Program

At New Horizons, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling and independent life. Our Community Living Supports Refugee (CLSR) program provides tailored support to help individuals build essential life skills and connect with their community.

CLSR with New Horizons

Our CLSR program goes beyond clinical support – we’re passionate about helping you build a fulfilling life. We’ll work with you to nurture meaningful connections, explore enriching activities within your community, and confidently navigate life’s everyday moments. We’re dedicated to empowering you to thrive and feel truly connected.

Our program focuses on:

  • Developing essential life skills (e.g., cooking, cleaning, budgeting).
  • Enhancing social skills and community engagement.
  • Providing respite for carers.
  • Building confidence and self-esteem.
  • Individualised support plans tailored to your needs.

If you’re ready to work with us on your journey to feeling better, we’d love to hear from you.

What our customers say
LP has come a long way and I’m keen to see where he goes in the future
Since coming on as LP’s support worker, he has gone from being a somewhat heavy smoker, coffee drinker and having no goals. Over the few years, LP has achieved his driver’s license, got his own car, given up smoking, doesn’t drink coffee or alcohol, takes himself up to get his own blood work done as well as other medical appointments. LP had also enrolled in TAFE in community services, completed the course and is now looking for work in the Mental Health industry. LP has come a long way and I’m keen to see where he goes in the future. LP has also had his medication reduced and quite possibly reduced even further in time.

I find it difficult to put into words how grateful I am
I want to express my appreciation and thanks for the unwavering, kind and caring support that Eleni has extended to me. She has helped me to better manage the ups and downs of Bipolar Disorder and prevent further hospitalisation since my discharge in February 2024. Additionally, Elenis kind support has helped me to gain more confidence and involve myself more in social activities. I find it difficult to put into words how grateful I am for Eleni’s dedicated and positive support.
