Social Activities

We are firm believers that social interactions with our peers are essential to the mental and emotional wellbeing of an individual, even more so when you have a disability as it can be very isolating when it comes to the general community and can sometimes be intimating.

Having positive interactions with our peers are vital not just for mental and emotional wellbeing but also at building and improving social skills.

Some of the many benefits building confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, independence, reinforcing thinking of others and, of course, building friendships and happiness.

We also haven’t forgotten about the parents, guardians and carers.  You are more than welcome to stay and enjoy a coffee and a chat or you may choice to take the opportunity to do shopping or work done, appointments, visit friends and family, get a haircut or even go home and enjoy the time for yourself.  You and your wellbeing are just as important! 

The social activities are in small groups with no more than 3 people in a group.  We have done it this way so they are not over whelmed and their voice will be heard.  This will also help encourage building healthy and supported friendships.  A qualified career will be in charge of the group to ensure the participants safety and overall wellbeing.

Where required, where will be sourcing a trained professional to do the activity. These activities will be run with less frequency than indoor and part day activities. 

You will have peace of mind that we take risk factors (can’t swim or is known to wander off) and personal requirements (don’t like noise or strobe lights) into account when planning activities for a group and a qualified carer will be in charge.

Transport is available for home pick up and drop off for this activity.  This is aimed to assist their carers valuable time.  Of course, Carers are welcome to stay and socialise or join in.

 This will be invoiced to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) as set and regulated by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
