RADS - Recreation & Active Disability Support

04/11/2025

One of the lovely Support Coordinators on the Fleurieu Peninsula has organised this amazing opportunity for parents/caregivers of children with disabilities to chat, gain advice and make new connections.

The next session will be on Friday the 28th of November at 10:30am, where some amazing people from Skylight Mental Health will be joining to talk about services available in the community for parents/caregivers who feel as though they are struggling and are in need of some extra resources to help improve their mental wellbeing.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Karen from Fleurieu In-Home Care on 0411 449 019 and let her know if your little ones will be attending as well.

We are so grateful to hold such an important group of people at the RADS Pad🙌

October is Mental Health Awareness Month🧠🫂
Celebrated every year, it aims to improve community awareness and understanding of mental health and wellbeing. It encourages people to speak out about their mental health and check in on those we care for.

For our staff at RADS, we offer an Employee Assistance Program with
Calm Minds Clinic to ensure our support workers have the opportunity to receive the support that they need if they don’t feel comfortable chatting to us, or if they need that extra experience.

RADS support workers continuoulsy check in on our participants’ mental health and ensure the feedback goes to the appropriate channels. Our Client Care Coordinators are on the phone multiple times per day to participants or their families and are always available for a chat if you are feeling any negative emotions whatsoever, we are here for you!💛

Are you or someone you know interested in FREE photography lessons?

We have partnered with a local community photographer who has kindly volunteered their time to teach NDIS participants how to use their phone/camera to take professional photos📸 It's not just a photography session though; you will learn some positive mental health strategies (not medical advice) from the photographers lived experience and improve your social skills by meeting new, like-minded people👭👬

Pop into the RADS Pad today from 12pm-12:30pm to hear him chat about this exciting opportunity (whilst eating a FREE sausage & bread😜).

We are gathering expressions of interest at this stage, so please get in contact with us if you are thinking about joining in! ALL participants welcomed.
