MENTAL HEALTH
What is a Psychosocial Disability?
The NDIS Commission defines psychosocial disability as:
‘A mental health issue that affects people’s daily activities such as socialising or interacting with others in a social setting, learning or self-care, or their capacity to fully participate in society’.
Some of the specific disorders include:
· schizophrenia
· obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
· bi-polar disorder
· severe and persistent anxiety and depression
How Can City to Country Care Support a person who has a Psychosocial Disability?
The NDIA defines recovery as ‘achieving an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by each individual, whilst living with or recovering from a mental health condition.
A psychosocial Recovery Coach is a new NDIS support for participants who require support managing complex challenges of daily living.
Recovery coaching is about empowerment and independence, increasing social and community participation. City to Country Care’s Psychosocial Recovery Coaches will work with you and your stakeholders to help you to take more control of your lives and to better manage the challenges you have with your day-to-day living. They have extensive qualifications and lived experience and provide supports in a holistic person centred approach. They will work collaboratively with you to develop and implement a plan, as well as assist with the coordination of NDIS and other supports you may require.
