About AllPlay Life
From effectively managing emotions to establishing a healthy daily routine, we have developed a range of strategies that can help children and young people navigate the world and develop crucial life skills.
In the future we look to build new programs that enhance life skills such as planning and organisation, independence and self-care.
We are committed to AllPlay Life providing the building blocks to employment and living a fully engaged life.
“As a parent of a child who experiences severe anxiety as well as sensory challenges, the AllPlay resources have been incredibly important for us as a family. Having access to a range of strategies and supports has given me the tools I need to communicate and partner with my child’s school, which has been essential during the times she has struggled. It has given me the confidence to advocate with her, to recognise her triggers, and to problem-solve.”
- Parent with a child with severe anxiety
One of the challenges for families is accessing evidence-based support strategies to assist children at home and during times of transition and/or crisis. These include resources to improve children and young people’s physical health, mental health and wellbeing, social skills and strategies for entering formal environments such as school or employment. During times of change, such as the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, these challenges can increase.
“COVID -19 has restricted the way we can access places in the community that bring us a sense of joy, connectedness, structure and security. Now more than ever we need supports to preserve our children’s wellbeing and mental health as we re-adjust our lives to the new normal”.
