Mental health recovery is a process that is defined by each individual. For some people, it could mean leading an active life while for others, it is about developing an understanding of a sense of self or becoming independent in life. People who live with psychosocial disabilities are supported in their personal recovery by the NDIS. The service of a Psychosocial Recovery Coach is one of the support.
NDIS is helping people with psychosocial disabilities to make progress in their recovery journey. Psychosocial Recovery Coaches are required to have expert knowledge of mental health or lived experience of mental health conditions. They can draw upon their experience and expertise to help the participants to create individual recovery plans. This includes assisting the participant in identifying their strengths and weaknesses, setting up goals and connecting them with the broader network of support. Recovery Coaches need to have a relationship based on trust and hope with the participants and their family members to enable recovery. Assistance in engaging with the NDIS is also part of the responsibility of a Psychosocial Recovery Coach. Improving the participant’s NDIS knowledge, building their skills in negotiating with the service providers and working on their abilities to advocate for themselves are some of the ways in which Recovery Coaches support people with psychosocial disabilities. Aastha Community Services is committed to encouraging participants with a primary psychosocial disability to believe in themselves and pursue their ambitions in life. We achieve this by improving your recovery skills and being there with you at every step of your NDIS journey.
