What is social support?

The purpose of social support is to ensure that you can have a network of support (through families, friends or your community) that you can turn when in times of hardship, or for guidance and advice. Here at A to Z Support Services, providing social support and encouraging community based activities is something that we believe is integral to all individuals.

Being a part of a community where one can share laughter, goals and build strong friendships is something that A2zlodge believe is fundamental to one’s quality of life.

Having a strong support network will improve your quality of life in many ways such as:

  • Helping you to problem solve
  • Improving your self-esteem
  • Lowering your stress levels!

What is Community Access?

Community Access helps ensure you have meaningful opportunities to connect with others through family, friends, community connections, and group-based activities. It supports your ability to participate in everyday community life, build relationships, and access guidance and encouragement when needed. At A to Z Support Services, we believe community participation is essential to every individual’s wellbeing.

Being involved in community and group settings where you can share experiences, laughter, and personal goals—while building strong friendships—is fundamental to a good quality of life. We actively support individual and group community access activities, including social outings, peer groups, and community-based programs that promote inclusion and independence.

  • Supporting problem-solving and decision-making skills
