Oasis Program(s):
Social Connection
Children are too often a casualty
Ethan's mum approached a member of Team Oasis at Homebase to see if there was anything we could suggest to help her son.
We put Ethan on a program at 'Life Skills Queensland' with others from both the civilian and veteran community, including children.
Ethan was connected to a Life Skills Queensland opportunity though the Oasis Connections program. Ethan attended and completed the building task. During the course Ethan connected to another child
who he established a rapport with. Ethan and his new friend have continued to attend courses together and the connection has helped Ethan appreciate he is not the problem.
Outcome
Ethan has gained significant self confidence, found a friend and is a much happier child.
