SUPPORTING PEOPLE WITH PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITY

Intensive Support provides specialised Psychosocial Support for NDIS participants living with Psychosocial Disability. Psychosocial Disability is not about a diagnosis, it is about the functional impact and barriers which may be faced by someone living with a mental health condition. Psychosocial Disability may restrict a person’s ability to function, achieve their goals and participate in life.

PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTS

Support services include:

✔ Psychosocial Supports: Practical, recovery-oriented supports that develop daily living skills, increase community participation, build independence, and improve overall wellbeing.

✔ Crisis Supports: Intensive short-term support for participants experiencing a mental health crisis with a focus on stabilisation, safety planning, reducing risk, and reconnecting participants with appropriate services.

✔ Psychosocial Recovery Coaching: Recovery-focused coaching that empowers participants to strengthen resilience, build capacity, coordinate supports, and work towards achieving their personal recovery and NDIS goals.

✔ ADHD Coaching: Individual coaching that assists participants to develop executive functioning skills, including organisation, planning, emotional regulation, time management, problem-solving, decision-making, and social skills.

✔ Mentoring: One-to-one mentoring that builds confidence, resilience, self-esteem, motivation, social connection, and practical life skills while supporting participants to pursue their goals.

✔ Core Supports: Assistance with daily living, community access, social and recreational participation, transport, routine development, and activities that enable participants to live more independently.
