Description

The Activities Centre operates at the Able Rooms 28 Ashworth Street, Alexandra.

Able Minds facilitates Activity Centres and Peer Support Groups for Tangata Whaiora in a community-based environment.

These are formalised group sessions where those with mental distress and addiction issues can come for peer support as well as actively focus on their recovery by learning new skills to build self-esteem and confidence both on and off site.

These groups are proven to get results and are led by our Coordinators and Peer Support Workers to reconnect people back into the community.

There are opportunities to:

• share 
• problem solve 
• chill out 
• play table tennis or pool 
• listen to or play music 
• watch DVDs/TV on Demand  
• work on own projects 
• art and craft 
• writing – journaling, poetry 
• develop own strengths 
• do community/volunteer work
