Assistance with Social and Community Participation supports
Social and community participation is about meeting people with similar interests and joining in social and community activities. It means going where others go, doing what others do, with other people and choosing activities you enjoy. Social and community participation also means different things to different people. It can include going to your local café, joining a netball team, bushwalking with a friend, doing a craft class, getting work experience, or volunteering.
Social and community participation is important because it can:
- Help you feel included and connected to others
- Give you opportunities to build relationships with friends
- Grow your social networks and help you feel more included
- Increase your confidence and build your ability to participate with your peers
- Help you develop skills to be more independent and feel safe in your community
- Build skills and relationships
- Help you find activities you enjoy doing.
It can be good to try different activities. You may not know if you enjoy something until you try it. It may feel different at first, but with the right support and help you may find activities you enjoy.
