The services a Psychosocial Recovery Coach offers to NDIS participants are tailored to meet their specific needs and can vary depending on the individual. Some of these services may provide include:

1. Developing recovery plans: We work with NDIS participants to develop personalized recovery plans that identify their goals, strengths, and challenges. These plans outline the steps required to achieve their goals and outline the support and services that are needed to accomplish them.

2. Providing emotional and practical support: We provide emotional support to NDIS participants by listening to their concerns, helping them develop coping strategies, and providing encouragement and motivation. They may also provide practical support, such as helping participants access community services and resources.

3. Facilitating social connections: We help NDIS participants build social connections and relationships, which can be an important part of their recovery journey. They may facilitate group activities, social events, or peer support groups to help participants feel more connected to their community.

4. Building life skills: We may offer training and support to help NDIS participants build life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and time management. These skills can help participants gain greater independence and improve their quality of life.

5. Advocating for participants: We advocate for NDIS participants to ensure they receive the support and services they need. They may liaise with healthcare providers, government agencies, and community organisations to ensure that participants' needs are met and their rights are protected.

Overall, a Psychosocial Recovery Coach plays an essential role in supporting NDIS participants with mental health issues to achieve their recovery goals and improve their quality of life.

The support items aim to provide NDIS participants with the assistance they need to build capacity and resilience through strong and respectful relationships. This support is especially crucial for people with psychosocial disabilities as it enables them to live a fulfilling and contributing life. Recovery coaches work collaboratively with participants, families, carers, and other services to identify, plan, design and coordinate NDIS supports, and maintain engagement through periods of increased support needs due to the episodic nature of mental illness. Psychosocial recovery coaches require lived and/or learned experience in mental health-related work and must have tertiary qualifications in peer work or mental health. This support item is subject to the rules set out in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, and it can be used not only for direct service provision but also for claiming other related services.
