\u201cI love being part of these social programs because I can meet different people and be in a different environment, hang out with people who has the same interest as me, and also because we always have a good time together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see how much Brianna gets out of going to the programs. She comes away from them so excited; she has found her comfort place and made such good friends. With each activity she attends, we notice she feels more and more comfortable. She didn\u2019t have the confidence before but now she does, even to the point she can go stay over at a friend\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\nJulie (Brisbane)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a part of DSIDQ’s Club events has been an absolute pleasure. Whether it’s jumping out of your seat when the Broncos score, challenging a friend to dance off at a live music event, taking a cheeky sip at a Sip & Paint or catching up with friends before we watch the latest blockbuster -there is something for everyone, of all ages, to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\nSophie (Brisbane)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
