Autherapies | Evidence-based therapies

Structured group activities enhance well-being by offering opportunities for recreational and leisure pursuits that bring joy and meaning to participants' lives. These activities also promote personal development and social skills by encouraging peer interaction and learning.

Led by health, social, or community workers, group activities are tailored to diverse interests and goals. Facilitators ensure that activities are enjoyable and align with participants’ well-being objectives.

Beyond individual growth, group experiences foster collaboration, connection, and a sense of community. Involving family members or friends can further enrich the support system, creating a more holistic and fulfilling experience for everyone involved.
