Community and Social Support
At True Will, we strongly believe that
Community and social support is essential for individuals to feel connected and included in their
local community. It can help individuals develop social skills and build relationships with others.
Community and social support can be provided in various settings such as community centres, recreation
centres, and schools. The programs and services may include social events, educational classes, and
employment support and can benefit individuals of all ages and abilities.
It can also be tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse populations, such as individuals with
disabilities, older adults, and immigrants.Community and social support can help reduce social isolation and loneliness, which can have negative
impacts on mental health.
It can also help individuals access resources and services they may not have
been aware of before and play a role in promoting social justice and reducing disparities in access to
resources and opportunities.
Overall, community and social support is important for promoting social inclusion and enhancing
the quality of life for individuals and communities.
