Introducing LAUNCH @ Avant ๐Ÿš€

One career-planning process, two directions it can take shape in: Launch Jobs @ Avant and Launch Business @ Avant.

Launch Jobs @ Avant covers real, paid, competitive work in the community โ€” a job built around someone individually, or a role on a small team of two to four coworkers, always in a regular community setting, never separated off on its own.

Launch Business @ Avant is for people who want to build something of their own. That means help identifying a business idea, putting together an actual plan, and ongoing support once the business is launched โ€” the planning and coaching are covered; startup costs aren't.

Both paths start the same way: a real conversation about what fits, before any placement decision gets made.

Want to know more about what this could look like? Reach out to your support coordinator, or send us a message โ€” we're happy to talk it through.

Let's bust another myth about REACH @ Avant: "Won't my family get cut out of the loop?"

Not at all โ€” and this one's actually built into how the service works. Training family members, guardians, housemates, and anyone else closely involved isn't optional or an afterthought; it's a required part of setting Remote Supports up for someone. Everyone who needs to know what happens when an alert comes in gets trained on it from the start.

REACH @ Avant isn't about doing this alone. It's about making sure the right people are looped in, on purpose.

Flower crowns, lavender fields, and a little time in the woods โ€” some days at Avant are just this good. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒพ

The team took a trip out to Battlefield Lavender for fresh air and a good stroll through the rows, then back home to get crafty (yes, those crowns are homemade). Simple moments, good company, great afternoon.

Big goals start with smart budgeting! ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿ’ฐ
He is doing a fantastic job learning to count his money and build a budget that works for him. By carefully sorting his cash, adding up his spending money, and planning ahead, he's gaining confidence with every dollar. Instead of making impulse purchases, he is learning to save for the things that matter most to him. Every budgeting session is another step toward greater independence, and with this new skill, he's well on his way to reaching his next big goal.

Let's tackle another one. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Myth: โ€œIsn't remote support less safe than having overnight staff?โ€

Truth: Every REACH@Avant plan has a written backup built in before day one; a named person who responds, at least one more backup if they can't, and a promise that in-person help shows up within 20 minutes if it's needed. In a true emergency, it's always 911, immediately. And yes, there's battery and generator backup too, so a power outage doesn't change any of that.

An alert doesn't go to voicemail. It goes to a Mentor who's already awake and watching for it.

REACH @ Avant is officially approved and ready to request!

If you've been wondering whether Remote Supports could be part of your plan, now's a great time to ask. Bring it up with your support coordinator, they can help you figure out if it's a fit and get things started.

Not sure where to start, or have questions first? Send us a message anytime ๐Ÿ’ฌ
We're glad to help you figure it out.

Ever wonder what it actually takes to become a Mentor at Avant?

Every person goes through real vetting and hands-on training before they ever start supporting someone, because the people we support deserve someone who's genuinely ready for it.

But it's not just about qualifications. It's about finding people who actually care; who show up, listen, and treat the people they support like people, not a task list.
Sound like you (or someone you know)?
We'd love to talk. Link in bio for open roles.

Let's clear this one up. ๐Ÿ‘€

Myth: "Isn't remote support just cameras watching me?"

Truth: Most of REACH isn't video at all! We're mainly talking simple stuff โ€” a door sensor, a motion sensor, a two-way speaker. If a camera's ever part of someone's plan, it's only because they asked for it and their team said yes. And even then? It never records, it's never in a bedroom or bathroom, and you can turn the whole thing off whenever you want.

We didn't build REACH to watch anyone. We built it to have your back.
