FAQs
Community participation is the opportunity to join like-minded individuals to become active members of your community. Sometimes, we can have a tendency to become withdrawn and avoid contact when it’s more comfortable for us. Community participation provides a little extra encouragement for us to meet new friends, spend time in nature, or take a little time away from our daily routine. Most importantly, community participation is fun!
We offer a range of fun and engaging activities that will help you continue to develop your socialisation skills, make new friends, and most importantly help you achieve your goals.
During your activity, you’ll typically be escorted by a Support Worker to provide you with help whenever needed. Some of the activities we offer include:
- Volunteering at a local charity
- Going on a group holiday with your friends
- Seeing a movie or a concert
- Trips to the park
- Joining a club
- Attending a TAFE program
- Visiting the library and much more!
There’s a range of things that make our community participation programs unique, however, a key philosophy at Specialised Living is we’re always seeking feedback from our Participants. It’s of the highest importance that you both enjoy the activities you’re engaging in and feel like they’re helping you achieve your goals.
Not ready to participate just yet? Feel free to spectate and see if the activity is the right fit. Tried an activity but don’t feel it’s right for you? Try something else!
It’s important our Participants are aware they’re in a judgement-free space where they feel empowered to voice their opinions and provide feedback on their experiences.
There’s a range of amazing benefits that come with engaging in community participation programs:
- It can help you develop your socialisation and communication skills
- It will help you achieve a sense of accomplishment by trying things that take you out of your comfort zone
- You can contribute to improving your local community through volunteering
- It’s a great way to work towards achieving your independence milestones
- You have the opportunity to actively break down stereotypes and show the world that people living with a disability can achieve anything!
