Community Participation Groups

Community participation groups are all about coming together with others to learn new skills, enjoy social activities and have some fun.

Some of the problems community participation groups can help address

• isolation

• bad mood and anxiety

• poor motivation

• difficulty with memory and cognition

The benefits of our community participation groups

• participate in the community

How do I pay?
