Social support group
Social support groups are suitable if you or a loved one are interested in social and recreational activities but need extra support. We offer a choice of groups to meet your individual needs and preferences. Currently there are groups available for people of Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese and English-speaking backgrounds. The program includes transport, activities, a meal and support from trained and caring staff.
Social support groups may also be suitable in situations where a person is caring for someone else. The person being cared for can attend a group activity while the person caring benefits from a break.
Our social support group program is located at the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre in Carlton.
