At Mainstream, we encourage a positive self image and pride in appearance. We work closely with individuals regarding personal care. Each individual’s presentation of self care is observed and assessed with the intention to tailor this aspect of our program to their individual needs. We provide feedback to each individual regarding their personal hygiene, grooming (hair combed, face shaved, teeth brushed, etc.), and appearance (e.g., appropriate attire for weather, condition of clothing, combed/styled hair). We offer training in oral hygiene, facial grooming, hair and nail care, and clothing upkeep while encouraging choices and personal style. Proper self care is reinforced to encourage self-esteem as well as to instill a sense of pride to produce a professional image for future employment opportunities.
