Having access to places such as day centres and community events also promotes the social well-being of the individual as humans are naturally social animals and interaction promotes our sense of self-worth and belonging. It may involve group activities so individuals interact with others, can make new friends or learn life skills, which in turn helps to enhance independence and confidence.
