Welcome to Inclusive Programs

Inclusive programs facilitate inclusion for all. I believe that everyone has a place and everyone belongs. Unfortunately many individuals do not feel a sense of belonging and many do not know how to make the necessary social connections.

Mary Brake’s Inclusive Programs facilitate

inclusion of individuals who are otherwise marginalised and often isolated
Improved quality of life through engagement, enjoyment and fun!
Music-based activities where success of all participants is planned for and self-esteem is enhanced.
A safe and secure environment that promotes confidence encouraging individuals to ‘risk-take’ - and thereby move forward.

Mary Brake’s Inclusive Programs provides individuals with disabilities experiences they are often denied, such as

Active participation
empowerment
being in control
being a leader
choice and decision making
Feelings of belonging to a community
Success!!
Esteem
