Our program offers a unique opportunity for participants to work with a certified personal trainer twice weekly over a period of eight weeks. This program is designed to guide and motivate individuals on their fitness journey, providing expert support and tailored guidance to achieve their health goals.
In collaboration with qualified dietitians, DBNR hosts educational seminars focused on nutrition. These sessions are geared towards helping participants develop healthier eating habits, providing valuable insights and practical advice for making better dietary choices.
We have teamed up with Rise Up Mental Health Services, as we aim to dismantle the obstacles faced in accessing mental health support for individuals with disabilities. Our collaborative effort focuses on providing comprehensive and sensitive care to address the unique mental health needs of this community.
DBNR has proudly supported a substantial number of individuals, embracing each member as family. We offer access to a variety of outdoor social events and numerous other engaging opportunities, fostering a strong, inclusive community spirit.
