Connect Program
Unlock Your Potential

“The program brought immense happiness — she says she’s got so much out of attending” — HCP Coordinator

The Connect  Program

An evidence-based, small group therapy over 7 weeks, designed to engage the brain, build confidence, and create a strong sense of connection and belonging. Participants enjoy 14 personalised 1.5-hour sessions in very small groups with expert facilitators.

 

In the final session, family are invited to join to experience the therapy and learn how to continue the benefits at home.

Following the Connect Program, participants are encouraged to continue with the Nurture™ Program on a term-by-term basis. This ongoing program helps maintain the benefits achieved in the initial program, supports functional capacity over time.

What Makes Our Sessions Meaningful

Each session is carefully structured to stimulate thinking, creativity, communication, and memory through enjoyable activities like word games, number challenges, sound recognition, art, and current events - all chosen to feel comfortable, enjoyable, and encourage meaningful conversation.

Highly Personalised Content

We personalise all content to maximise engagement and showcase individual strengths and life experiences.

Getting Started

Before joining, an Assessment is conducted either at our Melville Clinic (so you can see where and how we provide therapy) or conveniently via telehealth.   During this 50-minute session we will seek to understand your unique strengths, goals and answer any questions you have about CST.
