Improved Relationships
“With the right support, participants can become more socially active,
confident, and capable of forming lasting relationships.”
Building Stronger Connections with My Joy Care
At My Joy Care, we understand the importance of relationships in leading a fulfilling life.

Whether it’s improving communication skills, managing emotions, or navigating social situations, we are committed to providing the tools and support needed for participants to enhance their interpersonal connections.
What Is “Improved Relationships” Under the NDIS?
The Improved Relationships category is part of the Capacity Building Supports offered by the NDIS. This funding is aimed at helping participants develop the necessary skills to foster healthy, supportive, and effective relationships. It includes support for emotional regulation, behavior management, and social skill development. By building these capabilities, participants can enjoy more meaningful relationships with family, friends, and the wider community.
