Psychosocial support is a funded support under the NDIS designed to assist participants in building and maintaining connections with their community, family, friends and support networks. This type of support aims to help individuals with psychosocial disabilities—conditions that arise from mental health issues—manage daily activities, increase their social and community participation and improve overall wellbeing.
Psychosocial supports include:
- Assistance with developing social skills and communication
- Support to participate in community activities and groups
- Help establishing and maintaining relationships
- Guidance for managing daily living tasks
- Support for accessing education, training or employment opportunities
The goal of psychosocial support is to empower participants to live more independently, build confidence and actively engage in society.
VISION
Every human has the right to access a good life and live independently no matter what their disability is. Respect everyone for their inherent dignity and individual autonomy including the freedom to make choices without judgement.
MISSION
Our focus is to work with people who are falling through the cracks with significant mental health illnesses, those with dual diagnoses, psychiatric and episodic mental illnesses and support them with advocacy and inclusion within their community.
