Hello everyone, Just signed up and wanted to say hi. Not really sure what im doing yet, but jut wanted to reach out. Ive gone through a lot of positive changes lately. After many years in isolation and serious mental health problems Ive started to see life as worth while and exited about living for the first time. Ive started to work on getting back out there and re socialising. Does anyone have any experience with any in house skylight programs that could be a good start. Thanks everyone. I hope your all taking care.

Hi @jay89 !
Great to have you here and great to hear your recovery is progressing well. I'd never heard of the Skylight Programs so went and had a look. Looks pretty good! Are they only in SA?
Hope to see you around on the forums

I've been to the programs before, and had varying degrees of success with different groups. You really have to pick the activity you like, maybe? I've also been to the mates events that ADL services put on, and those are good too, but less frequent, more like 1-2 times a month.
