NDIS Innovative Community Participation Programmes are designed to support participants to build skills to actively participate in their community. Through side-by-side practice, the program involves highly skilled practitioners who assist participants to expand their opportunities for community participation and employment.
Areas of Support
Community Engagement Practitioners maintain a focus on resilience, well-being, and personal growth to successfully connect to the community, however, each service is tailored to best suit the participant, and their goals, to allow them to get the most out of the service. Participants who access these programmes expect support working on –
- The importance of community engagement, social contribution, and relationships in maintaining personal well-being
- Self-awareness and self-care
- Emotional awareness and self-regulation
- Gaining awareness of personal interest, skill sets, and passions and linking these to employment pathways
Practitioners adopt a capacity building, community-based approach by working with participants in their local community to increase the likelihood of uptake and successful transition away from the service to informal supports or employment.
Why is Innovative Community Participation Important?
Participating in the community improves well-being as one can feel connected to people and the community. Improved well-being also affects different aspects of life, including education, employment, health, and satisfaction, and well-being is our priority. The community also benefits from involvement as it means NDIS service providers can continue to run community participation programs and help more people.
