David Isitt, the Founder of Better Connected has a clear goal, he wants to see all people leading a good life.
David has witnessed too many families feeling isolated, tired and often overwhelmed while the complex needs within their family remain unmet. The traditional support system, can at times, lack the understanding and resources to support people with complex needs. This leaves families in dire situations with little control or support, not only from professional support services but often also from family and friends. Being in this disconnected situation damages wellbeing and negatively impacts the ability to move forward in positive steps towards a good life.
Better Connected was established to counteract these situations, to walk beside you, to listen and provide support and guidance.
Our team are here to support you in the following areas:
- Complex behaviour support
- Managing new situations
- Training and development
- Building capacity and support networks
- Mentoring staff and families
- Building social connections through animals
