Our Services
Community Participation
We are dedicated to supporting your journey and ensuring you stay connected and engaged within your community. This can involve various forms of support, such as accompanying you to nearby stores, accompanying you to appointments, or joining you on visits to friends and family members.
Our community participation support extends beyond these essential tasks. We can assist you in achieving specific goals, such as using public transport for commuting or accessing employment opportunities.
And of course, we understand the significance of enjoyable experiences. That's why we have a team of committed support workers and mentors who are always ready to join you in a wide range of recreational activities. Whether it's attending concerts, watching movies, participating in cultural and spiritual groups, socializing at events, or embarking on any other adventure you wish to pursue, our dedicated staff will be there to accompany you.
Mentoring Services
At All About Connections, we provide youth mentoring services. Our focus is on creating impactful connections between young individuals and mentors who can guide them on their journey toward developing resilience and navigating the challenges of adulthood. We offer young people the opportunity to have their voices acknowledged and valued, while also recognising and addressing the significant pressures and expectations they encounter.
The purpose of mentoring is to foster the growth and development of young individuals by linking them with an experienced mentor, someone they can trust on to offer social assistance and motivation. Our primary focus is to assist them in building their emotional well-being, social skills and independence while having fun.
Life Skills Development
We recognise that some young people require assistance with broadening their life skills as they prepare for adulthood. Our mentors are available to offer guidance in various areas, including demonstrating cooking skills, meal preparation, grocery shopping, guiding cleaning tasks, budgeting support, social skills and fostering other essential life skills.
