Our social and recreational activities are made to promote fun, interaction, and the development of new friendships. We take participants to local parks, host art and craft workshops, have movie nights, or go out to museums and cultural events.
These excursions give our members a chance to experience the community in everyday situations. Members may enjoy the association of friends. Besides, they can also improve their social skills and have joy in the shared experience.
- Creative and Arts-Based Programs
Creativity is an excellent medium for self-expression and health of emotion. We present arts-based programs which see individuals at large into which they put their creative talents in to practices like painting, pottery, drama, or music. We have designed these programs to foster personal expression, raise self-esteem and to bring about a sense of achievement. We encourage participants to play with their artistic skills which in turn we display in local exhibitions or we share with family and friends.
- Health and Wellbeing Activities
It is very true that physical health is an essential part of overall well-being. That is why our health and wellbeing programs are set to take care of both your physical and mental health. Several activities like yoga, swimming, walking groups, and fitness classes are offered to cover a wide range of people with different disabilities.
We have experienced instructors to operate these sessions and they keep special eye for each participant’s comfort and safety.
- Life Skills and Personal Development Workshops
Our group programs also put focus on life skills which are very essential for personal growth and independence. We teach in these workshops a variety of practical skills like cooking, budgeting, time management, and personal care.
During the course of group activities, members put out their experiences and also, they learn from each other. This gradually makes them more confident which in turn prepares them to take charge of their lives.
