who we are

Atlantic Community Supported Living (ACSL)

formerly Quest Society for Adult Support and Rehabilitation, is a leading disability support organization in the Halifax Regional Municipality. We provide specialized services for adults living with complex developmental, behavioural, social, intellectual, and mental health challenges. Across our programs, we create opportunities for people to learn new skills, explore their interests, and take part in community life. This includes recreational, social, educational, and employment-focused activities that help individuals make choices about their day and stay connected to the things they enjoy. Alongside these community-based programs, each person is supported through coordinated planning tailored to their individual needs. A team of highly trained and skilled professionals—including Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Nurses, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Dietitians, Psychologists, and Supported Living Workers—work together to understand each individual as a whole and to develop a support system that evolves as needs and goals change over time. In partnership with the Remedy, we are supporting individuals as they move from a facility-based environment into homes and communities of their choice. Once a support plan has been developed, we provide the services to turn it into a reality. From helping to find the right housing to building a support team that matches each person’s needs preferences, we pride ourselves on being creative, resourceful and solutions-oriented. Our goal is to ensure that the person is ready to make the move with confidence, while ensuring they remain connected to the relationships, routines, and supports that are important to them. Our work is built on strong relationships, clear communication, and long-term collaboration with individuals and their support networks.
