LIFESPACE – SOCIAL GROUP

Being social is an important part of everyday life. As humans, social interaction is essential to every aspect of our health. Research shows that having a strong network of support or strong community bonds fosters both emotional and physical health and is an important component of adult life.

Real Life Skills Support Services is a community like no other because it is just that, a community. We are so passionate about developing organic and genuine connections between our mentors, support workers, participants and their families. There are so many benefits to regular ongoing social interaction including a feeling of acceptance and belonging, friendships, increased self-esteem and confidence.

Lifespace focuses on bringing together people in a safe space that motivates, encourages and builds confidence in a social environment. Lifespace isn’t a structured day program. Run by our experienced mentors, Lifespace provides opportunities for learnings in everything we do, but it is subtle and allows for organic growth. We are breaking the cycle of isolation, breaking the cycle of sleeping all day, playing x-box, play station and computer games. We want to bring together like minded individuals to hang out, to meet new friends and just have fun, just hanging out with mates doing things we enjoy.

Lifespace is made up of different age groups and people with disabilities. It is built on inclusion and acceptance. We aim to place participants in groups with our mentors that see individuals thrive. Activities and learnings at Lifespace are decided by the group, as a team we find out what you need, that’s right you tell us. With our guidance and support the possibilities really are endless.

This is a space where the people that walk through our doors not only have the opportunity to achieve more than they ever imagined possible, but an environment that helps to foster more meaningful and lasting friendships, as well as a create a feeling of belonging.

If you’d like to come together with us and be a part of our amazing community of like-minded people, contact us to learn more. We’d love to hear from you!
