Rebuilding Community Participation & Social Engagement (Brisbane)
After injury or illness, getting back into the community can feel overwhelming. Activities that once felt easy - going out, seeing people, participating in hobbies - can become difficult or exhausting.
What this might look like day to day
Avoiding social or community activities
Difficulty using transport or getting out of the house
Feeling overwhelmed in busy environments
Loss of confidence in social situations
Reduced participation in hobbies or interests
Why this happens
Fatigue, cognitive load, physical challenges, and reduced confidence can all impact your ability to engage in the community.
Over time, this can lead to reduced participation and isolation.
