Transforming Lives Through Innovative Community Participation
At Issachar Care Solutions, we believe in empowering participants by helping them build skills, knowledge, and confidence while engaging in activities that align with their interests and goals.
Through this program, NDIS participants can develop social skills, showcase their talents, and participate meaningfully in the community. They will also increase their self-esteem and independence.
Benefits of our innovative community participation programs
Our program involves a highly qualified support worker, coordinator, or community engagement practitioner who can assist you in broadening your prospects for community participation and employment through side-by-side practice.
Our skilled community engagement practitioners will assist you in developing skills that help you actively participate in the community and expand your opportunities for employment and community participation.
The program offers a variety of activities that are tailored to each participant’s unique interests, goals, and needs. These activities are intended to promote inclusiveness, skill development, and social interaction and may include:
Art and creativity
- Art Workshops: Participants are provided with the opportunity to build their creative talents, express themselves, and create beautiful works of art at painting, sculpture, and pottery workshops.
- Music Lessons: Music classes provide participants with a creative outlet and the chance to participate in music therapy and lessons, thereby enhancing their musical skills.
Community Outings
- Museum Visits: Participants are exposed to new experiences, art, and history through visits to museums, art galleries, and cultural institutions.
- Nature Walks: Hiking and nature walks are examples of outdoor activities that encourage both physical activity and an appreciation of the surroundings.
Educational Pursuits
- Educational Courses: Participants can sign up for courses that interest them, such as computer programming, cooking classes, or language classes.
- Tutoring: Individuals are provided with educational support and tutoring to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Social Groups
- Book Clubs: Book clubs offer a platform for participants to read and discuss literature, fostering intellectual stimulation and social interaction. This activity not only expands their literary horizons but also promotes creativity.
- Cooking Classes: Cooking classes help participants improve their culinary skills and allow them to share meals and recipes with others.
- Gardening Clubs: Gardening not only promotes a green thumb, but it also offers comfort and an aura of achievement as participants cultivate plants and beautify their natural surroundings.
Sports and Recreation
- Adaptive sports are sports that are modified to allow people with physical and sometimes mental disabilities to participate. Participants can participate in adaptive sports such as wheelchair basketball, para-swimming, or seated volleyball, which promote physical fitness, teamwork, and competition.
- Fitness Classes: Access to fitness classes, group workouts, and dance lessons helps participants improve their physical health while also developing social connections with others like them.
Volunteering Opportunities
- Community Service: Volunteering at local charities, food banks, or homeless shelters allows participants to give back to their communities while also developing a sense of purpose.
- Animal Shelters: Participants can care for and interact with animals by volunteering at animal shelters, which is a rewarding and therapeutic experience.
Work Experience
- Supported Employment: Some participants may participate in supported employment programs, which provide additional support while working, enabling them to gain practical experience and develop necessary skills for future employment.
- Internships: Internships with local organisations provide invaluable work experience as well as an avenue to possible paid employment for participants.
Social skills development
- Social Skills Workshops: Workshops on communication, interpersonal skills, and conflict resolution help participants enhance their social confidence in various social situations.
- Support groups or self-help groups offer a secure environment where members can exchange experiences and gain knowledge from each other.
