Active participation supports an individual to attend all kind of
activities including meetings, discussions and socialisation, where they are
able to have their say on the matter concerns to them. It helps them feeling
more valued and gaining self-esteem which helps them to identify their needs
and express liberally. It also increases the opportunity of social interaction
which helps them to identify needs and become more liberate to express their
needs.
Example:
- An individual with a broken spectacle went to the daily activity, and came to know from another resident, that his spectacle was repaired by community optician in here. She asked us to arrange the same service for her.
- An individual became aware from our welfare meeting, that we will arrange church service on every Sunday and she expressed an interest to go.
