The Four Pillars of
Empowered Living Services Agency
​
1. Person-Centered Care & Cultural Competence
At ELSA, each individual's unique goals, preferences, and identity guide every aspect of their support. Our diverse team of LGBTQ+, Black, and Asian professionals ensures culturally competent, trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and identity-affirming care. We prioritize meaningful relationships built on mutual respect, valuing individuals' personal narratives and lived experiences.
​
2. Personalized Daily Living Support
Our team assists individuals with essential daily activities, empowering them to live independently. We offer tailored support for self-care, household responsibilities, meal preparation, and financial literacy. Through ongoing coaching in decision-making, time management, and organization, we foster self-sufficiency and confidence.
​
3. Community Integration & Meaningful Inclusion
We actively connect individuals to community resources and activities, helping them build and maintain meaningful relationships and social networks. Through structured support and transportation assistance, individuals actively participate in social events, recreational opportunities, and civic life, fostering a genuine sense of belonging within their communities.
​
4. Holistic Health & Wellness
ELSA integrates holistic wellness practices such as breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and art therapy to enhance emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Our trauma-informed, wellness-oriented approach promotes resilience, emotional regulation, and self-awareness among both individuals receiving care and staff members delivering support, ensuring comprehensive and sustainable health outcomes.
