What Is Social and Community Participation?

Social and Community Participation refers to the support we offer to help you take part in social, recreational, and community-based activities that enrich your life. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, discover new interests, or reconnect with your culture and community, our friendly support workers are here to walk with you — literally and figuratively.
