Community participation is all about the support given and provided for individuals who live with a disability or the elderly. Participation in community-based activities is found to have a positive impact on one’s health. Active participation can help individuals who fall under the disability or elderly care. It helps them form necessary life skills and develop positive attitudes that affect personality growth and well-being.
Community service volunteers, workers, or providers ensure individuals who partake in innovative community activities improve their way of living. This development can be through chosen activities like sports, new hobbies, or recreational activities and customised programs where self-development classes take place.
1. Innovative Community Participation Improves Communication Skills
Participating in innovative community-based programs can serve as a new environment or setting for people with disabilities or the elderly to start anew. New social circle, new activities, and a fresher star— a more inclusive community.
By introducing new people and new activities, individuals who fall under elderly or disabled care can practice their communication skills. It will be a good medium to practice building strong bonds or meeting meaningful relationships.
A healthy interaction leads to healthier well-being. In fact, studies show how active social participation can have a good effect on one’s physical and psychological health.
2:.Innovative Community Participation Boosts Confidence and Develops Independence
Participating in innovative community-based programs can boost one’s confidence and help develop independence. Participating in an inclusive environment can help develop a higher sense of belonging leading to higher self-esteem and self-worth.
We know how important it is for someone to live their life independently. As time goes by, life skills developed through activities in innovative or social and community programs can come in handy. Community activities can be a stepping stone for individuals to achieve a more confident and independent life.
The right community plays a big role and is effective in improving an individual’s trust in oneself.
3. Volunteering Is Good for Well-Being
Innovative, Social, and Community Participation is not only advantageous for the individual living with a disability or the elderly but also for the carer. Community engagement or community volunteering, in fact, has health benefits for the carer.
Volunteering can help fight the risk of depression; it is also believed to increase the carer’s social and relationship skills.
