Teen Konnect Club
EVERY SATURDAY, 9 AM - 4 PM. AGES 11 – 18. Pickup from Parkwood, Yarrabilba & Logan.
REAL THERAPY IN REAL LIFE
There’s no better way for your child to master critical independent living skills than by putting them into ‘real-life’ practice at Teen Konnect. This program offers a more engaging and effective therapy environment than traditional one-on-one sessions. Where better to learn these skills than in a group of like-minded, age-appropriate peers, supported by qualified therapists.
The focus of each Saturday session is:
- Social Skills
- Independent living skills
- Positive mental health
Each Saturday commences with a session of movement and exercise physiology, with our exercise physiologists. This is followed by therapy based interactive activities with our team based on the topic of the week, which can include but is not limited to the following: personal hygiene, bullying, cyber safety, cooking, money management, future visions and goals, hobbies, peer pressure, cooking, job options and so much more.
Our groups then embark on adventure excursions into the community which include escape rooms, Currumbin, Movie World, Sea World, iFly, Treetop Challenge, iPlay, cinema, bowling, golfing, self-defence workshops, cooking and more. Meals and beverages are served throughout the day.
TK is designed to equip your child with the critical skills for a positive, capable and confident future. No child should be alone or isolated during their adolescent years. TK is their source of professional support on their journey. Friendships, connections and tremendous support are developed and found amongst our tweens and teens in the program, as they embark on a new journey into their new, supported group. Parents and caregivers, witness your tween or teen thrive as they flourish in their new social network.
”Teen Konnect has been and is integral in our all our lives as a family. It is literally a life saver, a life changer and a life giver.
To have somewhere to go outside of home independently is big for both Charlie and us as a Family. It is respite for us and was the only respite for a period.
For Charlie it's a how to and an opportunity for making friends, it's coping with different social situations and others while also being out in the community.Having so many learning opportunities in real time while being in a safe space with professionals there to guide you is, I think, revolutionary in therapy.
Long live TK. We thank you.
