Our NEXT program is designed to support individuals with a 5:1 staff ratio. This means each participant must be able to transition efficiently, work well with the group, and be successfully engaged in programming with this ratio. A Sidekick will always be present but their time is divided among all 5 participants. The Sidekick's goal is to help with the quality of programming and to provide assistance when needed to support individual growth. If you have specific questions about what this may look like for yourself or your loved one, please feel free to email next@benjaminshope.net.
