Social and Community Participation
Community Participation That Supports Your Wellbeing
We support you to build confidence, connection, and enjoyment through meaningful activities in your community. Whether one‑on‑one or in groups, we help you take part in the things that bring purpose, wellbeing, and joy to your day - at your pace and in your way.
Community, Social and Recreational Activities
We support you to stay connected, active, and engaged in the things that matter to you. Community participation is about more than attending activities — it’s about building confidence, strengthening relationships, and feeling part of your community. We help you take part in social outings, hobbies, recreational activities, community events, and everyday experiences that bring purpose, enjoyment, and wellbeing to your day.
Our team works alongside you to understand your interests, communication style, and what helps you feel comfortable in new or familiar environments. Whether you prefer one‑on‑one support or small‑group activities, we tailor our approach to your pace and preferences.
We can help with planning your week, travelling to and from activities, trying new things, or simply having someone there in the moments that matter. HavenDoor provides community, social and recreational supports across Orange, Bathurst, and Dubbo with expertise in supporting people with mental health needs, psychosocial disability, and high or complex needs.
