As part of 2023 Social Inclusion Week, BUSY Health will bring you some ideas for promoting social inclusion while supporting your own mental and physical health in the process!
Do you know one way to reduce risk of heart disease and stroke? Connection!
It turns out that hanging out with mates isn’t just a good time, it’s great for your health too! Being part of a group, spending time with friends or chatting over the garden fence to a neighbour are all perfect opportunities to create social inclusion. Feeling a part of a community through social inclusion is great for your mental health – and is proven to reduce your risk of life-threatening diseases like heart disease or stroke.
So have a go, join in with Social Inclusion Week, from November 18-26 by hosting an event in your community. You may even make new friends while supporting others to find a connected community!
Need help with social connection?
If social connection is something that you find difficult and you’d like to:
– increase your social and communication skills
– improve relationships
– learn strategies to overcome social anxiety
– get involved in social activities
– expand your social networks
– pay more attention to family and friends – and less to social media
– gain support to find, keep and be connected in employment or work experience
– increase your social confidence through therapeutic supports including counselling,
psychology, social work or occupational therapy
– access individualised support after leaving school to connect into work experience or
employment
BUSY Health can provide professional support to assist you toward your goals. We encourage you to choose the life you want to live from now on and we’re here to help you reach your potential. We also provide NDIS Support, including positive behavioural supports and therapeutic supports.
If you’d like to talk with a professional about supports available, please get in touch with BUSY Health on 1800 270 984.
