EMPOWER:

The Breakdown of Our Values

  • At Grow & Flourish, values that foster empowerment are at the core of everything we do, emphasising inclusivity, respect, autonomy, and collaboration. We believe in creating an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and capable of achieving their goals, whilst ensuring their voices are heard and their unique needs are met.

  • We provide supports that are meaningful to participants and their families, recognising that truly personalised and relevant support fosters greater engagement and success. When supports align with the unique goals, values, and needs of individuals, they become more impactful, increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes and long-term achievements.

  • We believe in embracing positivity and the potential for growth, improvement, and success in every circumstance. By fostering an optimistic outlook and focusing on strengths, we inspire confidence and create opportunities for individuals to thrive and achieve their aspirations.

  • Grow and Flourish provides tailored supports that offer people with a disability the opportunity to succeed and live the life they choose. By providing the right resources, encouragement, and opportunities, we help unlock their potential and ensure they can achieve the life they envision for themselves.

  • Everyone is worthy of accessing effective supports that make them feel valued, and respected. We believe that every individual has inherent worth, and our mission is to provide supports that uplift and affirm their strengths. By ensuring that all individuals receive the care and attention they deserve, we create an environment where they feel confident, empowered, and appreciated for who they are.

  • We approach all interactions with empathy, recognising the unique challenges and emotions that come with sensitive topics, complex situations, and behaviours of concern. By listening without judgement and responding with compassion, we create a supportive environment where individuals feel understood and respected. This empathetic approach allows us to navigate difficult circumstances with care, fostering trust and meaningful connections that promote positive outcomes for everyone involved.

  • We respect everyone’s sexuality, gender identity, cultural background, religion, and opinions, recognising the richness that diversity brings to our community. By embracing each person’s unique experiences and perspectives, we foster an inclusive environment where all individuals feel accepted and valued. We are committed to treating everyone with dignity, ensuring that their rights and personal choices are honoured in every interaction. Through respect, we build strong, supportive relationships that empower individuals to be their authentic selves.

The Butterfly Approach

The Butterfly Approach *

Our Values:

Guiding Grow and Flourish's Person-Centered Approach.

At Grow and Flourish, we believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to supports. Our Butterfly Approach is designed to ensure that each participant receives tailored, meaningful, and evolving support that meets their unique needs. This structured yet flexible process empowers individuals to reach their full potential through a cycle of planning, implementation, review, and reflection. The four stages of the Butterfly Approach are as follows:

Our Commitment

The Butterfly Approach embodies our commitment to continuous learning, empowerment, and transformation. Just as a butterfly undergoes stages of development before taking flight, we support participants through each phase of their journey, ensuring they are equipped with the skills, confidence, and support needed to thrive. By embracing a dynamic, responsive, and person-centered process, we foster meaningful change that enhances the quality of life for individuals, their families and their communities.

  • The journey begins with a deep understanding of the participant’s strengths, needs, aspirations, and challenges. In this stage, we:

    • Engage with the participant, their family, and support network to gather essential information.

    • Conduct assessments where needed to understand developmental, social, and behavioural needs.

    • Establish clear, measurable, and achievable goals.

    • Develop a personalized support plan that aligns with the participant’s life goals and NDIS plan.

    • Ensure the plan incorporates strategies that promote growth, independence, and quality of life.

  • With the plan in place, we move into action by:

    • Delivering tailored interventions and support based on the established plan.

    • Providing skill-building activities and strategies to enhance daily living, social participation and other areas that have been identified through stage one.

    • Collaborating with families, caregivers, educators, and other professionals to ensure a cohesive approach.

    • Regularly monitoring progress and adjusting strategies as needed.

    • Encouraging participant engagement and self-determination throughout the process.

  • To ensure effectiveness and ongoing progress, we conduct structured reviews by:

    • Assessing the participant’s achievements and challenges.

    • Gathering feedback from the participant, family, and other stakeholders.

    • Identifying any barriers to success and adjusting support strategies accordingly.

    • Updating goals and action plans based on the participant’s evolving needs.

    • Documenting progress and maintaining clear communication with all involved parties.

  • At this stage, we determine the next steps based on the participant’s progress and ongoing requirements:

    • If continued support is beneficial, we refine and extend the plan to ensure ongoing development.

    • If goals have been met and the participant has gained sufficient independence, we celebrate their achievements and plan for a transition or cessation of services.

    • If additional or alternative supports are required, we guide participants and their families toward appropriate services or resources.

    • We ensure a smooth transition, whether support continues, adapts, or ceases, always prioritizing the participant’s well-being and long-term success.

Our dedication to a person-centred approach ensures that our services honour individuality, promote choice, and support the achievement of personal goals in ways that enrich lives and nurture potential.

Holistic Care

We take the time to understand each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals within the context of their environment, relationships, and community. By tailoring supports to these factors, we ensure a holistic approach that empowers individuals to achieve their goals and thrive.

Collaborative Approach

We work alongside individuals, their families, and support networks to co-create meaningful pathways to independence and well-being. Our collaborative approach ensures all parties work closely together towards a shared outcome, recognising the equal importance of both informal and formal supports in helping individuals achieve their goals.

Neuroaffirming

Grow and Flourish is committed to providing neuroaffirming supports that respect and celebrate the diversity of all neurotypes.
