Wedge gardens host talent show
"Wedge Gardens residents can create a character profile that brings them happiness. This in turn provides the opportunity for more fulfilling and productive lives,"
Rand Aid’s Wedge Gardens Treatment Centre held a talent show on March 23. Its theme was developing self-identity.
“In occupational therapy the previous week, we tackled the idea of the labels society places on each and every one of us and how that plays into our life stories,” explained occupational therapist Ms Kendra Neethling.
Ms Neethling said she and the residents recently explored the notion of broadening and building upon intrinsic skills and talents that bring meaning, purpose and enjoyment into their lives.
She said people have the ability to challenge and redefine themselves to become more than the labels given to them.
“Wedge Gardens residents can create a character profile that brings them happiness. This in turn provides the opportunity for more fulfilling and productive lives,” said MS Neethling.
* The identity of Wedge Gardens residents are kept confidential.
