Social & Recreational Activities

Clare Home & Community Options is in the process of developing a range of programs and activities that promote independence, physical and psychological wellbeing. We encourage people to learn new skills, be active in the community and to make friends. We will have a range of programs to suit everyone and include group-based activities and one-on-one support, all aimed at helping you connect with your community.

 

Social & Recreational – groups

You can choose from

  • Centre-based group programs
  • Community-based programs

Community Engagement – individuals

If you’re after one-on-one support to access community, social and recreational activities, we can support you to go out into the community to develop social skills and engage in leisure activities.

We currently support people to:

  • Go to the gym, go bush walking or picnic in the park
  • Join in our Community Garden activities
  • Attend ‘Swap Meets’ or other local get-togethers
  • Go to the footy, musicals or concerts
  • Go to coffee or lunch, read the paper and chat to people

 

 

Centre Based Programs

 

Clare Friendship Group

The Clare Friendship Group has a structured program that incorporates friendship with daily living skills.

  • The main learning categories are:
  • Friendships: developing friendships, understanding boundaries, emotions, resolving conflict and using different communication methods.
  • Cooking – planning, budgeting, shopping, identifying goods and following recipes
  • Literacy and numeracy – learnt through games, cash handling, keeping a journal
  • Healthy living – healthy meal choices, personal care and fitness
  • Safety – home, cyber, road, personal and food safety

All participants experience hand-on learning and supply take home tools to help family and carers encourage the practice of new skills.

 

Community Based Programs

Each program is decided by the group and in line with their goals.
