What to Expect
Welcome to Thursdays in our Johnny H Life Skills Day Program. Our day is split into two: capacity-building activities in the morning and social inclusion/community in the afternoon. The day includes morning and afternoon tea as well as a weekly menu which is organised by the staff but prepared by the course participants (where suitable) as part of their personal development. Our Term 4 program runs for 12 weeks.
Morning Activity
Our mornings are spent working towards increasing our own individual capacity across a broad spectrum of content that varies daily. Over the 11-week term, each day we will focus on a specific topic, ensuring that clients gain understanding and practical experience, including:
Hygiene: Establishes personal care, which is foundational for all interactions.
Appropriate Dress: Follows hygiene to continue focusing on presentation.
Time Management: Prepares clients to effectively manage their schedules, needed for goal setting.
Goal Setting: Once time is managed, clients can set and pursue goals.
Decision Making: Supports goal setting by teaching how to make informed choices.
Personal Space and Consent: Important for respecting others as client interact.
Empathy: Builds on understanding personal boundaries.
Respect: Reinforces empathy and is crucial for healthy relationships.
Relationships: After learning respect, clients can focus on building and maintaining relationships.
Bullying: Teaches how to handle negative aspects of relationships.
Rules and Consequences: Introduces structure and accountability following discussions on behaviour.
Budgeting: Provides practical skills for responsibility and planning.
Gardening: A hands-on activity that can incorporate many of the skills learned, such as planning, responsibility, and respect for living things.
