At Living Resources, staying active is about more than just movement. It’s about building confidence, finding community, and discovering balance. Our Rockland DCOP group has embraced two very different but equally impactful ways to channel their energy and mindfulness throughout the week. Every Monday afternoon, the group kicks off the week with high-energy sensory kickboxing sessions at Title Boxing Club in Nanuet. This ongoing activity has become a powerful outlet for individuals to release energy from the weekend and set a positive tone for the days ahead. Under the guidance of our incredible instructor, Brian, individuals continue to build their [...]

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the unique talents and perspectives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). At Living Resources, we are particularly proud of the students in The College Experience (CEP), a program designed to help young adults navigate the transition to independence. To honor this month, our students took a moment to reflect on their journeys and write down the achievements that make them most proud.  Their stories are a powerful reminder that with the right support, every individual can reach their full potential. While every student has made incredible strides, here [...]

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and our Brain Injury Services Department has been busy writing their own brain injury journey stories. This month, and every month, they want you to know that they are so much more than their injury. Their collective message is clear.

Our community is made stronger by these stories of perseverance and personal triumph. We invite you to join [...]

This month was a powerful one for Living Resources, as individuals from our Day Community Opportunities program and our College Experience program took their voices directly to the New York State Capitol in Albany. It was a day filled with purpose, collaboration, and vital advocacy for the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Individuals met with members of the NYS legislature, confidently and passionately advocating for critical initiatives that directly impact their lives and the services they receive. Their message was clear and urgent. They called for an increase in the Targeted Inflationary Increase (TII) from 1.7% to [...]

At Living Resources, we believe that art is a universal language, a way to express what words sometimes cannot.

At Living Resources, we believe that empowerment is more than just a word; it is the process of providing the tools, trust, and community necessary for individuals to take the lead in their own lives. No one embodies this spirit more than Ajani, whose recent milestones are a powerful testament to what happens when we prioritize inclusivity and person-centered growth. When Ajani first came to Living Resources, his journey was defined by high-intensity support. Requiring 1:1 supervision to navigate daily life, his path forward was focused on stability. But at the heart of our mission is the belief that every [...]

Melissa doesn’t have a preferred art medium, preferring to use whatever feels right on that day. Though she doesn’t have a preference on materials, her art is very abstract. One of [...]
