Established rapport: participants are often engaged in other KHG programs and have established relationships with our staff and therapists. The “normalising” impact of this cannot be over-stated. Having familiar faces working with you towards your goals with can be very reassuring and improve the efficacy of interventions.
Natural setting: participants have access to KHG’s gardens which can make therapy sessions less ‘clinical’ and therefore less anxiety-provoking. Activities in the garden can also be used as the basis for 1:1 therapeutic sessions whether these are driven by behavioural or physical goals. This can create a natural flow of meaningful endeavour between garden activities and clinical sessions.
Convenience: therapeutic sessions can usually be scheduled during periods when participants are already attending KHG. This helps participants, families and carers who would otherwise have to attend multiple off-site appointments at different locations.
Whether therapeutic supports are funded privately or under your NDIS plan, the KHG Therapeutic Supports Team would be happy to discuss your needs.
