Getting out and belonging somewhere are not the same thing.
A different outing every week is activity. Returning to the same group often enough that people know your name is connection — and that's what actually reduces isolation.
A good support worker starts from what you already like, plans so the outing goes smoothly, and then steps back as you get comfortable. The goal is that you need them there less, not more.
