Stay connected through engaging online activities

Staying socially connected is an important part of maintaining health, wellbeing and independence. Regular interaction with others can help reduce feelings of loneliness, create a sense of belonging and provide opportunities to learn, share experiences and enjoy meaningful conversations. 

That's why integratedliving's refreshed Social Sessions program has been designed to bring people together through engaging online activities that can be enjoyed from the comfort of home. With new sessions and expanded offerings of participant favourites, Social Sessions provide more opportunities than ever for connection, creativity and fun. 

A welcoming space for everyone 

Social Sessions is more than just a calendar of activities. It's a welcoming community where participants can connect with like-minded people, explore new interests and enjoy regular social interaction in a relaxed and supportive environment. 

All sessions are facilitated by friendly staff who encourage participation at each person's own pace. Whether you enjoy joining the conversation, sharing experiences or simply listening and observing, you're welcome to participate in the way that feels right for you.

Cameras and microphones are optional, making it easy to join from wherever you're most comfortable. 

Explore new interests and favourite pastimes

The refreshed Social Sessions calendar offers a variety of engaging activities designed to encourage connection, spark curiosity and support wellbeing. 

  • Paws and Claws: Animal lovers can come together to share stories, photos and fun facts about their beloved pets and favourite animals. These heart-warming sessions often lead to laughter, conversation and shared experiences that help participants connect with one another.

  • Sketching: Sketching sessions provide a relaxing opportunity to explore creativity and self-expression. Guided step-by-step activities make it easy for everyone to join in, regardless of experience level. Participants can enjoy learning new skills while building confidence in a calm and supportive setting. 
  • Armchair Travel: Explore fascinating destinations across Australia and around the world without leaving home. Through engaging visuals, discussion and storytelling, participants can discover new places, learn about different cultures and revisit travel memories from years gone by. These sessions are perfect for those who enjoy learning and exploring new horizons.

More than just activities

While each session offers something different, they all share a common purpose: helping people stay connected and engaged. 

Many participants join Social Sessions to build routine, meet new people and enjoy regular opportunities for conversation and connection. Others appreciate the chance to stay mentally active through games, creative activities and stimulating discussions. The program is designed to support social wellbeing while creating a sense of community and belonging.  

Through shared experiences, participants often discover new interests, build friendships and develop lasting connections with others who share similar passions and experiences.
