DSWA Life Skills Lab Forum

After months of planning, we held our much-awaited Life Skills Lab Forum on Saturday, 7 June 2025.

We kicked off the morning with registration and coffee, and a presentation from our CEO. The day was filled with insightful sessions exploring the meaning of independence, goal setting, and future planning.

Participants engaged in group activities, heard from panels on housing, responsibilities, and legal topics like Wills and Power of Attorney by Erin Taylor from Future Living, and took part in discussions on staying healthy—covering personal hygiene, mental health, relationships, and nutrition where we heard from the members of our DSWAAN.

The forum wrapped up with a physical focus session on personal safety by Maggie de Jong and team from Jan De Dong Martial Arts, a final Q&A, and a survey to reflect on the day.

Thank you to everyone who attended and made the day so meaningful!

Stay tuned for more events and workshops coming soon.
