Support to rebuild connection, confidence and participation

MSSN programs are designed for people whose social participation has been disrupted by ageing, illness, disability, injury or major life change. Our programs can be matched to individual needs, goals and circumstances, helping people strengthen social connection, rebuild confidence and increase meaningful participation in everyday life.

Find the right pathway for the person

Each MSSN program responds to a different starting point, from building steadiness in everyday life, to rebuilding resilience and identity, to gradually increasing social participation, to simply being part of a welcoming community.

People do not all need the same type or intensity of support. MSSN’s programs are designed to meet people where they are, whether that means finding routine and a way to manage difficult emotions, rebuilding confidence in who they are and how they connect with others, taking social steps at a manageable pace, or staying connected to an ongoing community.

Routine, emotional regulation and goals.
Practical, structured support to help you find steadiness in everyday life. You’ll build routines that work for you, develop ways to manage difficult emotions, and set goals that matter to you and work towards them.

Resilience, identity and communication.
Support to rebuild your sense of who you are beyond illness, injury, disability or life change. You’ll strengthen your resilience and grow your confidence in expressing yourself and connecting with others.

A stepped increase in social participation.
Start at a level that feels manageable and build up gradually as your confidence grows. Each step moves you closer to taking part regularly in groups and community life, at a pace that suits you.

Volunteer-run groups for everyday connection.
Relaxed, welcoming groups such as cooking, art and book club, where the focus is enjoying time with others and being part of a community.

Not sure which program is the right fit?

You do not need to select a program before referring. Tell us about the person’s current circumstances, goals and barriers to participation, and MSSN can help identify the most appropriate pathway
