Social and Community Participation

Being able to participate in a group or team can give individuals a sense of purpose and identity, as well as enhance social skills and emotional well-being.

We closely collaborate with individuals with disabilities to identify goals, build skills, and access resources for social and community involvement. Our team helps individuals find opportunities for social and community engagement, such as joining sports teams, volunteering, attending social gatherings, or participating in the arts.

Through capacity building in community participation, our aim is to empower individuals with disabilities to actively engage in their communities, fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging, which positively influences overall well-being.

Our community participation services are tailored to each individual's goals and aspirations, ensuring they get the most out of community activities. Participants can expect support in areas such as:

💚 Recognising the importance of community engagement for personal well-being

💚 Self-awareness and self-care

💚 Identifying personal interests, skills

💚 Emotional awareness

💚 Developing social skills and understanding social expectations

💚 Building confidence and independence

💚 Navigating community programs

💚 Building capacity to seek assistance in the community independently 

Friends, family, and the wider community play vital roles in an individual's support system, offering a sense of belonging and purpose. Supporting individuals as active community members can significantly improve their quality of life.
