Community Connecting

Community Connecting sessions give you the opportunity to learn more about what connections a person might like to build in their community, and then think creatively about how to make it happen.

Community Connecting gives people the chance to think about what else they might do to build resilient networks of support that are not reliant on a service-customer relationship.

Services can provide useful supports for people, but real life doesn’t exist purely within that framework. Instead, this process can build two way relationships based on contribution, trust and mutual connection.

How Community Connecting will help people thrive:

  • Supports people to build resilient networks of support that are outside the traditional framework of services
  • Enables people to build real, human connections that matter to them
  • Reduces loneliness and boredom
  • Increases a person’s sense of agency, personhood and self
  • Gives people an opportunity to contribute, increasing feelings of self-esteem and wellbeing
  • We are better able to thrive when we’re connected to others and able to contribute to our communities
