Recreational, Creative, Life Skills
and Therapy-based Community Programs

Cherished Support Services run programs that are fun to be part of. Our programs are about meeting new people, connecting with existing friends you make on the other programs, lots of creativity and trying new things, building new skills and having fun.

Innovative Life Skills and Therapy Based Community Programs

Cherished Life is a suite of innovative, evidence-based programs, developed, facilitated, and overseen by a team of senior psychologists, allied health practitioners, allied health assistants and coaches.

The program blends activity-based personal goal enrichment and achievement (which is tailored to each participants’ specific situation) with a framework for the development, assessment, and recognition of skills for independent living, skills for employment, skills for relationships, skills for growth and skills for life which builds into a profile of demonstrated, evidenced achievement.

Each program in the Cherished Life series consists of weekly group meetings and structured between-session practical activities which demonstrate practical implementation and competence of individualised content. Activities are recorded in a portfolio of evidence, with formal recognition for small steps in achievement of a larger goal.

Each program includes pre and post assessment, ongoing monitoring of progress, and a celebration of achievement.
