Last Friday staff attended the 2023 South Australian Community Achievement Awards gala night to celebrate our place as semi finalists 💃🏆

It was an inspiring event where everyone came together to celebrate collective successes, acknowledging initiatives that foster connections and collaboration within communities.

This award ceremony not only showcased the accomplishments of various organisations, but also highlighted the power of community engagement and collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event amazing! Here's to more connections, achievements, and community spirit!

We recently partnered with Creative Therapy Adelaide (CTA) to bring Music Therapy to our clients.

Through CTA's outreach program, University of Melbourne Masters student, Ben, spent last term conducting some of his placement hours with us here at our PPA learning centre.

Music Therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession in which music is used to actively support people as they aim to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing. It can help those on the spectrum develop their capacity for communication, social interaction, self-regulation and interoceptive abilities.

We are loving watching Ben engage with our clients and seeing the joy that music brings 🎹🎤🎵🥁
