Programs on offer
Confidence & Connection is a structured wellbeing and social development program delivered by Toowoomba Disability Services. The program is designed to support NDIS participants in building the skills, confidence, and personal presentation required to engage meaningfully in social settings.
Through a strengths-based approach, participants are supported to explore and express their identity — including how they dress, present, and carry themselves — in ways that foster self-esteem and social confidence. The program includes targeted support for individuals who experience sensitivity to social engagement due to mental health conditions, trauma, or previous negative experiences.
Participants are guided to develop practical tools for navigating social situations, while receiving assistance in areas such as hygiene, grooming, clothing selection, and personal style. The program promotes autonomy, dignity, and wellbeing, and is delivered in alignment with NDIS goals and funding.
Confidence & Connection is underpinned by trauma-informed practice, person-centred planning, and the NDIS Practice Standards, ensuring safe, respectful, and empowering support for every participant.
