Community
Participation

At YH Support Services, we understand the importance of community participation for individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to assist our Participants in becoming active and valued members of their communities. We offer a range of services under the NDIS service Participate Community to support this goal.

Our services under this category include, but are not limited to:

• Assistance with transportation and travel to community events and activities
• Support in finding and accessing community-based activities and events
• Assistance with building and maintaining social connections and relationships within the community
• Encouraging and facilitating volunteer work within the community
• Support in accessing community-based education and training opportunities

We work closely with our Participants and their support networks, such as Occupational Therapists and Mainstream supports, to identify their interests and goals for community participation. Our Support Coordination team will then assist in connecting them with appropriate community-based activities and events to suit their needs.

Our Direct Support Workers are trained in providing personal care and support, as well as promoting independence and social inclusion. They will provide support and guidance to our Participants in a variety of community settings, ensuring they have a positive and meaningful experience. We understand that community participation can be challenging for some individuals with disabilities, which is why we offer a flexible and person-centered approach. We work closely with our Participants to understand their needs and adapt our support as necessary.

We also understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality, which is why we have a robust Business System in place to store our Participants’ information and ensure it can be retrieved safely and securely when required. All our staff are compliant with the NDIS requirements and have undergone the checking and verification process. Overall, at YH Support Services, we are committed to helping our Participants to live an independent life as possible and to be active and valued members of their communities. We are here to provide support and guidance every step of the way.
