Making the most of your Capacity Building funding

Capacity Building is the part of your plan focused on growth. Unlike everyday support, it is about building skills and independence that stay with you well beyond the funding period.

Think long term

The best way to use Capacity Building funding is to picture where you want to be in a year or two, then work backwards. Every session should move you a little closer to that picture.

Core supports help you today. Capacity Building helps your future self.

Making it count

To get real value from this funding, a few habits make a big difference:

• Set one clear, motivating goal to work towards

• Choose therapists who explain the why, not just the what

• Practise between sessions, even in small ways

• Review your progress every few months

Growth is rarely a straight line, and that is completely okay. What matters is steady, supported progress in a direction that means something to you.
