Hi Colleen, thanks for your message, I'm very pleased to hear you found the Shared Lives information interesting. Shared Lives is almost always a positive experience for the people involved. I mentioned on air that Shared Lives arrangements can last many years, but I didn't get to mention that in my experience the workers who support and monitor Shared Lives often remain in that role for many years too: it's sometimes quite challenging, never ever dull and very rewarding. I only discovered that there's a well established Shared Lives equivalent ("Shared Living") in BC fairly recently. For more information: Communitylivingbc.ca Regards, Chris
