Bloom Therapy is again offering the popular MIND BODY SPIRIT (MBS) women’s therapy group in Term 3 beginning 18th July 2022 at our clinic in Upper Mount Gravatt. We will be running two MBS groups this term, one on a Tuesday morning and one on a Thursday afternoon. The group runs weekly over eight weeks. MBS has been designed for women with a focus on improving social communication and engagement skills. Specifically, we will focus on exploring strengths and personal qualities, self-advocacy and empowerment, community engagement, creativity and goal setting, and health and wellbeing. A highlight of the program is a private group visit to ‘Hudson Hair’ in Holland Park, where group members are supported to request and select a hair style and learn practical haircare skills.
In addition to MBS, Bloom will also be offering its popular Chop and Chat program, running Wednesday’s and Fridays, also starting the week beginning 18th July 2022. The group runs weekly over eight weeks. Chop and Chat is a group therapy program for adults interested in developing daily living skills, functional communication, and social connection alongside peers with similar goals. Developed and facilitated by Bloom’s speech and occupational therapists, the group provides a supportive space to practice and develop important skills such as:
• Commenting, requesting, listening to and following directions
• Functional literacy skills (including AAC)
• Social communication, teamwork and friendship
• Planning, organising, problem solving and completing procedural tasks
• Meal preparation, household duties (cleaning, setting the table), shopping and money handling (to be completed with carers each week).
We welcome individuals of all skill levels and backgrounds to join our groups. The benefit of having trained therapists and allied health assistants running the groups means that we are well equipped to support people with a variety of communication difficulties or differences.
We are offering $50.00 off your first weeks’ session fee for all Term 3 bookings made using the promo code below. Register your interest using the button below.
