Steady Support:
More than just a therapy session.
The Social Hermit is founded on three main principles;
-
A one-hour therapy session is often not enough.
-
Art is good for you - but often isolating.
-
Social interaction is crucial for mental health and wellbeing.
It is a place to ‘be’ - somewhere to go during the day to connect with others and have a sense of belonging. Somewhere to land, build authentic connections and grow your creativity.
For some of our participants, we also offer something closer and more ongoing: a level of support that goes beyond a weekly session.
Whats Included
-
An extra point of contact each week, on top of your regular sessions
-
Someone in your corner at events - get to know our staff personally, who can support you to attend clubs, exhibitions and events
-
Being there when it counts - whether that's a hospital visit, help through a hard stretch, or arranging safe transport home when you need it our support is flexible and we cater to you when you need it
-
Understanding relationships - building friendships from ground zero is hard, we support you to manage boundaries and foster new friendships
-
Creative development - we do our best to match you with artist mentors who have the right skills to teach and grow your creative skillset, and bridge gaps for creative opportunities
Is this for me?
If you've found yourself needing more than what a weekly therapy session gives you — more contact, more support around social interaction, someone to lean on in harder moments — this is worth a conversation.
Steady Support isn't tied to any particular funding type; it's available to anyone for whom it's the right fit, and we'll talk through what that looks like together.
Cost
From $150/week. Around the same as a therapy session, except with more freedom and access to community.
This reflects the real time and care that goes into this level of support — it's priced to be sustainable long-term, so it's something we can keep showing up for, not something that runs out. Concessions are available depending on what level of support you need.
Get In Touch
Like therapy, except with community. It's the difference between coming to a session and having someone who actually knows you and shows up.
Have a chat with Cheryl directly, or ask your support coordinator to reach out on your behalf.
