Support, Training, Enablement Personalized Service

Support, Training, Enablement Personalized Service is a city wide service with a single point of referral for younger adults (18-65) with a physical disability.

This service is for people who have neurological conditions (i.e. strokes, MS, epilepsy etc.), sensory impairment, head injury, long term health conditions and hospital discharges.
