What we OFFER

The Insightful Hub

Our Insightful Hubs are structured, practical training workshops designed to build skills for everyday life, education, employment and greater independence. Workshops can be delivered to schools, education providers, disability and community organisations and other services, while individuals can also join our scheduled group workshops held each term at local community hubs and centres. Through interactive activities, discussion and hands-on learning, participants develop and practise skills in communication, independence, wellbeing, self-advocacy and workplace readiness, with each Hub focusing on a specific skill area..
