Mental health recovery looks different for everyone and that’s okay. On your NDIS journey, psychosocial recovery can make everyday life easier, more meaningful and more independent. Find out why with us!
What is Psychosocial Recovery?
On your NDIS journey, psychosocial recovery is a support approach for people with psychosocial disabilities. These are mental health conditions that affect daily life and the goal is to help people build a more independent and connected life. Instead of only looking at treatment, it focuses on skills, resilience and hope so people can handle challenges and move towards their own goals.
So what is a psychosocial recovery coach
A psychosocial recovery coach is a support worker funded by the NDIS who helps participants with psychosocial disability understand and use their plans. Many coaches have lived experience with mental health or have special training in recovery.
Their role is to walk alongside people, guide them through their recovery, and support them to make their own choices. With a coach, participants are supported to live a meaningful life, join their community and feel valued.
How Psychosocial Recovery Supports Mental Health with NDIS?
Living with a mental health condition can feel overwhelming at times but the right support can make a big difference. How does psychosocial recovery support mental health with NDIS?
