Skylight helped get my life back on track
Skylight has been instrumental in helping me regain control of my life through their diverse Activity Groups. From learning exercises to crafting musical instruments, Skylight’s hands-on activities have not only enhanced my skills but also improved my social interactions. The Art Group and Music Group are particularly impactful, providing creative outlets that reduce stress and promote mental well-being.
What I value most is the opportunity to support others within the Skylight community. Having been involved in helping people throughout my life, it’s fulfilling to continue this in Skylight’s Activity Groups. These programs foster social inclusion and help combat isolation by encouraging connections among participants.
The support from Skylight staff is remarkable. They assist with communication, lifestyle skills, and practical matters, which has been a great help. Skylight’s programs also extend to supporting my family, particularly with mental health challenges, which has strengthened our bond.
The Skylight Activity Groups are a lifeline for those seeking social interaction, creativity, and personal growth. Whether it’s participating in the Breathe Stretch and Relax sessions or joining music activities, Skylight helps us manage our mental health by providing a safe space to connect with others. I especially enjoy excursions and the hands-on activities, which are both fun and enriching.
Being able to contribute to events like the mental health expo and showcase our art through exhibitions has been an unforgettable experience. These opportunities have not only raised mental health awareness but also provided a platform for participants to shine. Winning prizes in these activities has been a personal highlight, inspiring me and others to continue growing.
Skylight’s Activity Groups also include exciting programs like Country Wellness Connections, which is a funded program and promotes social inclusion and well-being. The face-to-face activities offered by Skylight bring so much joy to our lives.
Skylight’s Activity Groups have empowered me by offering creative outlets, social connections, and opportunities to contribute to the community. They’ve made a lasting impact on my mental health journey, and I am grateful for the encouragement and support I receive from both the group and Skylight staff.
