Assisting people with disabilities to pursue their dreams and live the life they imagine.

Upskills Learning Continuum

Our Up-Skills Learning Continuum is the guiding framework behind all of our programs. It provides a clear pathway that helps people grow, explore, and build the life they want. At Participation House Durham, we believe everyone deserves the chance to shape their own future. With support from family, community, and caring staff, people can build confidence, discover their strengths, learn new skills, and take part in their community in ways that matter to them.
