A Membership-Based Personal Growth & Life Empowerment System
The Shiloh Approach™ is a transformative, holistic model designed to support personal development, meaningful participation, and overall well-being for adults with disabilities and individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Instead of traditional service enrollment, members join a life empowerment community where consistent support, purposeful activities, and personal growth come together in one coordinated system.
Our approach integrates four essential pillars—Community Coaching, Person-Centered Empowerment Coaching, Person-Centered Activity Experiences, and Personal Care—into a unified membership model that adapts as needs evolve. Members never “restart” services; support adjusts with them.
Individually, each pillar is powerful. Together, they create whole-person empowerment by strengthening:
- Confidence
- Emotional Wellness
- Meaningful Participation
- Daily Independence
