Full Circle of Choices is dedicated to assisting community members with developmental disabilities.

Independent Living Services (ILS) provides education, instruction and training for those who choose to live on their own. ILS is designed to empower each client so that as they gain the skills needed to thrive on their own the dependence on our services will lesson over time. This type of service is for those that need training to learn how to live independently. Our support can begin while the individual is living in the family home or as they begin to transition out of a group home living situation. The focus of ILS is on personal growth and skill development. The individuals who are served in this program have needs that can be supported between 1- 40 hours per month and are capable of becoming more and more independent over time. Supported Living Services (SLS) enables individuals who have significant support needs to live in their own homes. This service provides support up to 24 hours per day based on the needs of the individual. This type of service is individualized to the preferences of the person and as needs/preferences change the services will adapt to those changes. This service also assists our clients in exploring and building a natural support base, assisting the client to make decisions that empower them to manage their own flife and can focus on personal growth and skill development as needed.

If you didn't know - years ago, Full Circle of Choices began exploring 3D printing as a way to create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to learn new skills, express their creativity, and participate in meaningful, hands-on activities.

Since then, our little 3D printing operation has grown into quite the makerspace! While we've certainly had our share of failed prints, tangled filament, and machines with minds of their own, we've also discovered just how much opportunity can come from a simple idea.

Thanks to funding from Contra Costa Health's Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA), we've been able to take that work even further through our Be Well initiative.

We're creating paid opportunities for individuals with IDD to produce and assemble wellness tools, including 3D-printed fidgets. But it's about more than making things. We're also drawing on their lived experiences and perspectives to help shape conversations about mental wellness and develop resources that are practical, accessible, and meaningful to the communities we serve.

Last week, our Specialty Health Ambassadors had the opportunity to showcase this work at the LMHA Grantee Poster Showcase, alongside other incredible organizations working to improve health and wellness throughout Contra Costa County.

We were also pleased to connect with Dr. Grant Colfax, Contra Costa Health Director; Supervisor Shanelle Scales-Preston; representatives from Supervisor Diane Burgis' office; and fellow community partners.

What started as an opportunity to learn and create has grown into something that brings together employment, inclusion, lived experience, creativity, and mental wellness.

And that's something worth celebrating!

A big thank-you to LMHA for supporting this work, and to our ETC Program and Specialty Health Ambassadors for bringing their creativity, enthusiasm, and talents to everything they do.

Who knew a little melted plastic could open so many doors? 😄

🍪💙 ME WANT COOKIE… and community fun! 💙🍪

Our SHA team showed up in true sweet style for this year’s City of Pleasant Hill Haunted Trail, turning their trunk into a full-on Cookie Monster takeover! From the giant googly eyes to the mountain of cookies and candies, this one definitely stole the show.

But it wasn’t just about candy — our Specialty Health Ambassadors were also out there connecting with families, sharing resources, and spreading the word about local services that support individuals with disabilities.

We loved seeing all the amazing costumes and happy faces! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi (and grab a cookie or two 😉).
