Community integration focuses on enriching social connections to bolster a sense of belonging. People can explore differing aspirations and interests in an inclusive community setting (on evenings and weekends too). This could mean learning pottery, gardening (or any activity they choose) and enjoying the experience along with peers and friends without disabilities. The diverse talents of people in services shine in these welcoming spaces. Engaging in community activities can help dissolve feelings of isolation and loneliness, encourage creativity, and help grow new goals and interests.
