The Engagement Hub offers a unique community service for adults with severe and enduring mental illness. The Hub operates as a ‘drop in’ centre. Focusing on encouraging individual strengths and abilities, the team supports people to connect with a wide range of mental health services.

On site at The Engagement Hub, people can access meals, laundry facilities and showers, group outings, workshops and activities – for example art, drama, gardening, meditation, yoga, music, women’s programs, writing and trivia. Volunteers support the program to provide a service to participants.

There are roles for those interested in supporting the Meals service. Also, in consultation with the Team Leader, volunteers can participate in the planning and running of groups and activities based on participant feedback. Volunteers are actively involved in the evaluation of groups they participate in, in-line with continuous improvement. They work closely with staff to ensure the smooth running of groups and activities.
