Peer Counseling and Peer Support
At the ABLE Center for Independent Living, we are dedicated to the idea that everyone should be living life to its fullest potential. We provide activities, education, and peer counseling for individuals desiring to "soar above all expectations". We chose a hummingbird for our symbol because this remarkable bird defies the odds, seemingly defying the law of physics, to do what he does. He "soars above all expectations". He is one of the most remarkable of all the species when it comes to his abilities. ABLE is about focusing on abilities. ABLE teaches people to live independently, and assists in providing support to promote independence in the above four core services.
