About BAIN INC

BAIN INC is a vital Center for Independent Living (CIL) serving 11 counties within southwest Georgia. As a CIL, BAIN INC is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities to live full, independent, and self-directed lives within their communities.

BAIN INC operates on the philosophy that people with disabilities are the best experts on their own needs and should have the right to control the decisions that affect their lives. They work to remove barriers, promote inclusion, and advocate for the rights of individuals with disabilities.

The Five Core Services of Independent Living

BAIN INC, like all CILs, focuses on providing five core services that are essential to achieving independent living:

  1. Advocacy: Championing the rights of individuals with disabilities, working to remove systemic barriers, and promoting accessibility and inclusion in all aspects of community life. This can include individual advocacy to assist people in accessing services and systemic advocacy to change laws and policies.
  2. Information and Referral: Connecting individuals with disabilities to resources, services, and supports that can help them live independently. This includes providing information on housing, transportation, healthcare, employment, and other essential services.
  3. Independent Living Skills Training: Offering training and education to help individuals with disabilities develop the skills they need to live independently. This may include skills related to budgeting, cooking, personal care, transportation, and other areas.
  4. Peer Support: Facilitating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to connect with and support each other. Peer support provides a sense of community, shared experiences, and mutual encouragement. 1
