Live Work Play
Live
Living independently is a hallmark of Triumph- 55 adults in Birmingham are learning to live on their own thanks to the support team at Triumph. The “Live” service consists of regularly scheduled home visits with a Life Coach. During these visits, the Life Coach will assist individuals in developing and meeting their own personal goals.
The Life Coach may also assist the individual in the following areas:
• Home Maintenance
• Checkbook Balancing Coaching
• Medication Coaching
• Household Organization
• Paperwork Organization
• Healthcare Coaching
• Meal Planning
• Grocery Shopping Assistance
• Developing a Schedule / Using a Daily Planner
Individuals may also have access to a Life Coach at any time Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM at the Triumph Office, located at 2216 Tenth Court South, Birmingham, AL 35205. We recommend that the individual call before coming to the office to ensure that the Life Coach may give the individual his/her undivided attention.
Work
A whopping 9 out of 10 of Triumph’s participants are employed!
Not only is being gainfully employed critical to achieving independence,
but it also means participants are contributing members of our community.
The “Work” service consists of the following:
• Thorough assessment of the individual’s strengths, interests,
and skill sets
• Resume development
• Job development and matching based on the results of
the assessment

weekly events that Triumph sponsors
