What Is Day Support?

Day Support programs are intended to provide an opportunity for individuals who are diagnosed with intellectual disabilities, mental illness or physical challenges with a supportive and engaging environment to develop soft skills and become more independent.

The Day Support program at Greater Unity Adult Services takes place in our spacious facility in Henrico, and is structured to provide fun and educational activities in a small classroom setting.

Each group is led by our enthusiastic and highly qualified staff members, who help each individual based on their specialized needs and goals.
