What are Social Clubs?
Social Clubs are a fun and engaging way for children to build social skills and make friends, while doing something they love!
Social Clubs are run from our Ballina hub and are based on activities such as: Lego, Tech Heads, Art & Craft, Explorers. We have a range of clubs available; after school, on weekends and over the school holidays.
We understand the unique challenges children with a disability can face in a social environment. Practicing these skills in a small, familiar group, while being supported by experienced facilitators, can foster children’s confidence and self-esteem.
How kids can benefit from Auscare Support Social Clubs
Build Social Skills In A Safe, Supported And Fun Environment
Social skills are one of the most important skills needed in child development. They are vital in helping to form positive relationships, have conversations, develop body language, share, play together and function within society. Well-developed social skills can lead to improved mental capacity and cognitive abilities, as well as good overall mental health.
Make New Friends With Similar Interests And Hobbies
Making friends can be difficult particularly during the transition from childhood into adolescence; having multiple interests and hobbies can assist in befriending like-minded individuals and engage in constructive activities. Having friends who also enjoy similar hobbies can provide the scaffolding that will assist in providing immediate and long-term benefits.
