Our Beginnings After working within the private sector for many years as an OT, our Director Ellen saw a large disconnect between the types of services provided to youth in the disability sector. Many clients were seeking increased independence and social connection, however were accessing supports that were designed for children in paediatric settings. We asked ourselves, “How can we encourage youth to be more independent and autonomous – yet sit in spaces that were filled with toys and cartoon animals on the walls? How can we enable them to feel competent, yet sit them in environments that subconsciously suggest otherwise?” We saw recurrent themes of young people ‘outgrowing’ therapy, becoming disengaged and/or finally mustering up the courage to join mainstream groups but having negative experiences due to the lack of individualised support. Young people accessing services needed spaces that they felt connected to, as well as be provided supported opportunities to practice the skills they were learning in 1:1 therapy. We needed something between the home and the clinical environment. A place where young people could come together to engage in groups while being provided with the right, tailored, and individualised supports to enable them to be successful. A place that tells them they are in charge, they are capable and they are welcome. That’s when the vision for Life Skills Hub was born. About our New Grad Program The Role At Life Skills Hub, we are committed to nurturing the growth of new graduate occupational therapists by providing a supportive and structured environment that not only focusses on developing clinical knowledge but also skills to help them develop as an effective professional.
