PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT

Our lead, Andy, is a Behaviour Specialist, (Registered Behaviour Support Practitioner, Registered Behaviour Technician, and has a dual degree in Psychology and Behavioural Science).

With over 5 years of experience working in the behaviour/mental health/ mentoring field, he has helped countless participants realise their goals through support plans, training of staff, and mentoring support organisations in the correct supportive care of participants.

We can also provide you with strategies to cope with anxiety and depression. This can include Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, where we help participants engage in the things they want to do but think they can’t. We understand that sometimes, people simply need a purpose and to feel valued.

Overcome psychosocial barriers and live again
Make friends, find a job
Learn how to cope with the stresses of life

A recovery coach can support you with your recovery. Recovery means being able to live a purposeful and meaningful life.

Psychosocial recovery coach information:
A recovery coach is an NDIS-funded worker that has mental health knowledge.

A recovery coach will:
Spend time with you, and people important to you, to get to know you and understand your needs
Help you to find out about different services and supports, and how these can help you
Help you get support from mental health services
Help you better understand the NDIS and support you with the NDIS

You can choose a recovery coach with lived experience. That is where we come in!

A recovery coach with lived experience has their own lived experience of mental ill health and recovery and is able to use this experience to inform their work.
Andy can certainly attest to this having lived through the trauma that saw him begin his journey to where he is now. He understands the reality of depression and distress.

Generally, a recovery coach will be funded in plans for people with psychosocial support needs. You do not have to choose a recovery coach if you do not want one.
