Social exclusion, loneliness and a lack of friends present many people with intellectual disability with a health and well-being triple jeopardy consequences. This includes being more likely to be unemployed long term, have mental health problems, lack a voice in their community and have fewer support Networks from friends. Further deteriorating with high rates of overweight and obesity, linked to diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
We had observed a clear therapeutic activities that gave us real meaning as staffs and program leader when we planned activities for our beneficiaries (our clients)
They want to socialise, have friends and be part of their community. For this to be achieved, COH recognise we need to seek some form of support.
Social inclusion gives meaningful social connections and participating in fulfilling social activities to our clients. Participation in meaningful social activities has been demonstrated to have a significant positive impact on loneliness for people with intellectual disability.
With appropriate and targeted support, adults with intellectual disability can move from social exclusion towards supported inclusion and experience richer lives.
