Our Social and Community Participation services support you to develop your skills and become more actively involved in the community. It’s about trying new things, finding a new activity that you enjoy and meeting new people.
The choice is yours. Whatever you want to do, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Receiving Social and Community Participation services from Mercy Connect is an opportunity to develop your independence and social skills.
We have over 35 different programs each week in our Day Program services, giving you the chance to pick and choose which ones you are most interested in participating in. From arts and crafts, cooking, local excursions and Branching Out (garden maintenance, cleaning), there is something for everyone at Mercy Connect.
