Innovative Community Participation

Innovative Community Participation is a support offered by YH Support Services for NDIS participants who wish to increase their involvement in their community. This support aims to assist individuals with disabilities to access and participate in social, recreational and community activities that align with their interests and goals. Our team of experienced support workers will work closely with each participant to understand their unique needs and preferences, and will then develop a personalized plan to help them achieve their goals. This may include activities such as joining a local sports team, volunteering at a community organization, or taking part in cultural events.

At YH Support Services, we understand the importance of community participation for individuals with disabilities. Our Innovative Community Participation support aims to help individuals gain a better understanding of the benefits that participating in their community can bring. This includes enhancing self-awareness, improving self-care, and coaching to improve emotional regulation, confidence, self-esteem, and social skills. We also work to increase individuals’ knowledge of social norms and appropriate behavior in different environments, as well as helping them learn how to access help in the community when specialist assistance is not available. Additionally, we focus on helping individuals cope with their disability within a community context, including raising awareness of the services and accommodations available to them. Our team also assists in accessing community-based social opportunities and identifying hobbies and interests that can be pursued in a community setting, facilitating participation in these activities

We understand that community participation can be challenging for some individuals with disabilities, which is why we take a person-centered approach to our support. We will work with participants to identify and overcome any barriers that may be preventing them from participating in their community. This may include providing assistance with transportation, providing support at the activity, or providing communication support. In addition to providing one-on-one support, YH Support Services also offers group activities and events that are specifically designed for NDIS participants. These activities provide participants with an opportunity to meet and connect with other individuals with disabilities, and to experience new activities and opportunities in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Overall, Innovative Community Participation is an important support for NDIS participants who want to increase their involvement in their community and live an independent and fulfilling life. YH Support Services is committed to providing the support and resources that are needed to help individuals achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
