What is Psychosocial Recovery Coaching?

From 1st July, 2020, a new support item is now available for NDIS participants, called the Psychosocial Recovery Coach. This is a support found under the Support Coordination category. Their purpose is to provide support to people experiencing a psychosocial disability by building capacity, strengths and resilience. Working with participants, their families, carers and supports, they will design, plan, implement and adjust a recovery plan.

​

The objective of this item is to provide specialised, time-limited services to those with psychosocial conditions, as well as alleviate some of the workload for support co-ordinators. This new item is another example of how the NDIS is adapting and improving, particularly in the field of mental health.

 

My goal is to provide those services and help participants make the most of their plans. I will tailor a recovery plan based on the needs of the individual and the best available services in the region with respect for gender, sexuality, culture, family and community . Unlike agencies that push numbers on to already-overloaded caseworkers, I work with fewer cases to allow greater attention to detail and consultation.

What I can do for you

As a recovery coach my aim is to understand you and identify your unique abilities and strengths. Together we will agree on your goals, wishes and aspirations, and I will help you build the skills that you need to take control of your life. With the help of other services and providers I will put you on the path of self-direction to recognize and take responsibility for your own recovery and wellbeing.

​

I will:

  • Provide support to increase your independence, social participation and economic participation.

  • Assist you to take more control of your life, and to better manage the complex challenges of day to day living, by providing you with life tools towards building your own capacity.

  • Work collaboratively with families, carers, and other services to design, plan, implement and review a recovery plan that builds upon your strengths.

  • Provide capacity building supports. I tailor to the needs of people with primary psychosocial disability, with a focus on coaching and collaborating with other services.

​

Recovery Oriented Practice

  • Builds on, clarifies and breaks down goals into short-term objectives

  • Identifies strengths and barriers

  • Enables you to identify areas of life where you have choice and areas of life where the decisions are made by other people

  • Identifies key contacts who are in your life and are able to support you

  • Map the identified goals with available and potential resources and services

  • Identify early signs that may require changes in NDIS supports and identify how these supports can be adjusted to meet your fluctuating needs

  • Support you to plan, navigate and manage available resources and services in the broader service system (including NDIS funded supports and clinical mental health services) 

  • Clarify how NDIS supports complement and interact with other supports, such as clinical services

Pricing

The current 2020/2021 NDIS price guide details the specific, maximum fees listed for all services. Regardless of receiving these specific services, participants should become familiar with what and how much their providers are charging. It’s your plan!

​This service is only available for self managed plans.
