Community Development

Neighbourhood Houses have a positive impact on the mental and physical health of the people that participate at them. They open up people's interpersonal networks, and break down social isolation through community participation and inclusion. People make new friends, share time with others, and feel a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to their community in a meaningful and impactful way.  The aim of neighbourhood house community development (NH CD) practice is to increase involvement and partnership among members of a community to achieve common objectives.  See Neighbourhood Houses Victoria to learn more.
