Teamwork Skills & Goals

Wednesdays focus on developing teamwork skills and understanding how working together can help achieve shared goals.

Morning Focus

The morning session centres on teamwork. Participants learn how individuals contribute different skills, knowledge and perspectives when working towards a common goal. Activities explore communication, trust, accountability, cooperation and mutual respect.

Participants take part in discussions and practical activities that encourage collaboration, active listening and problem-solving while developing confidence in group settings.

On selected weeks, participants will also engage with Nepean Therapy Dogs. These sessions provide opportunities to build confidence, develop positive social interactions and support emotional wellbeing in a calm and supportive environment.
