Many individuals with disabilities face challenges in connecting with their communities and overcoming feelings of isolation. This can significantly impact their emotional well-being, leading to loneliness, anxiety, and even depression.
The good news is that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a solution by funding NDIS Group Activities, which are engaging and diverse group activities.
This blog will explore how NDIS group activities at Lady Bumble Bee Art foster social connection, promote emotional well-being and empower you to unlock a fulfilling life.
So, dive in and discover how joining a group activity can be the key to unlocking joy in your life!

Who Is It For?
Empowering Kids With Autism
Our NDIS group activities are designed to ignite imagination and nurture creativity in children aged 4 to 12, especially those with autism. Research shows that engaging in group activities at a young age helps improve cognitive skills, enhances social development, and boosts self-esteem. Through hands-on art and craft workshops, these budding artists can express themselves through colours and shapes and build essential motor skills crucial for their age.
The structured routine of art therapy offers predictability, creating a safe space for cognitive development and self-exploration. This personalised approach accommodates individual needs and preferences, making group activities a powerful tool for supporting the unique journeys of children with autism.
Supporting Youth With Mental Health Issues
Studies show that engaging in creative endeavours positively impacts the mental health of adolescents dealing with depression or anxiety in promoting emotional well-being and stress relief. Through music therapy sessions and collaborative art projects, we help young NDIS participants unleash their artistic potential and find a supportive space to navigate the challenges of adolescence.
We recognise that everyone’s journey is unique, with complex needs and sometimes even dual diagnoses. For individuals facing conditions like bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, or ADHD, social participation can be a powerful tool. It provides a safe space for free expression, fostering a sense of accomplishment that builds confidence and social skills.
Uplifting Survivors Of Violence
The wounds of domestic violence can linger long after the abuse ends. For survivors, especially women, finding a safe space to heal can be a daunting challenge. NDIS Group Activities and Art therapy offers a haven for expression. Through creative outlets like crafting, sketching, or painting, survivors can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a supportive environment.
Our group activities offer survivors a platform for self-expression and empowerment. It is seen that engaging in activities like painting, music therapy, and collaborative projects promotes emotional healing, rebuilding a sense of trust and security. Our compassionate approach ensures that survivors find solace in shared experiences.
Inspiring Elders With Dementia
Many older adults enjoy companionship and social connection, but sometimes hesitation or isolation can hold them back. Our NDIS-supported group activities offer a welcoming space to connect, have fun, and explore new interests.
There is a substantial positive impact of group activities on cognitive function and emotional health in older adults. At our group sessions, we encourage them to engage in gardening, art sessions, and music therapy, which assists them with self-expression and promotes physical activity, eventually reducing feelings of isolation.
NDIS group activities make a big difference in how we feel emotionally. We create a sense of togetherness and support when we join in things together, like art or music. It’s like being part of a team where we can express ourselves, have a good time, and know we’re not alone. Doing things with others helps boost our confidence, lower stress, and make us feel happier overall. It’s a fun way to share good moments and build a positive mindset together!
At Lady Bumble Bee Art, we believe in the therapeutic potential of NDIS group activities tailored to various age groups and life experiences. The joyous moments shared, the skills honed, and the emotional resilience cultivated in each session echo the potential for positive change and growth.
