Sport for Confidence seeks to support those who have become disconnected from the community/loved ones and who require additional support to be able to access meaningful opportunities outside of the home environment.
Sport for Confidence achieves its outcomes through utilising the knowledge, skills and expertise of Occupational Therapists and Coaches.
Occupational Therapists work across health, education and social care and in diverse practise areas such as health promotion and illness prevention. The earlier someone who is experiencing challenges to their occupations receives occupational therapy intervention, the more likely they are to have positive outcomes and potentially any reduced secondary complications which could relate to mental and physical health.
By placing an Occupational Therapist at the ‘front door’ of Sport for Confidence, it is possible to support those who face challenges to their occupations and work holistically with a focus on prevention. We support individuals through initial assessment interviews and therapeutic interventions to achieve positive outcomes related to physical, mental and emotional health and all social circumstances and life opportunities.
