What Makes A Good Life? We’ve heard from people with developmental disabilities, autism, and acquired brain injuries that they want authentic relationships and to be part of their community. One of the goals in our current strategic plan is to support people to have meaningful relationships beyond family members and paid staff. In five years, we want everyone supported residentially by St.Amant to have at least two meaningful connections in their lives.
