Psychosocial Recovery Coaches: Supporting Mental Health and Empowering NDIS Participants

At Hi Five Community Services, we understand that living with a psychosocial disability can bring unique challenges. That’s where Psychosocial Recovery Coaches come in. Introduced under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), these professionals provide tailored support to individuals with mental health concerns, helping them navigate their recovery journey with confidence and structure.

What Are Psychosocial Recovery Coaches?

Psychosocial Recovery Coaches are specially trained professionals who support people with psychosocial disabilities. Their role goes beyond traditional support work by offering a recovery-oriented approach focused on individual strengths, personal goals, and mental wellbeing.

A key part of their work is developing strong relationships with participants, understanding their needs, and helping them build the skills required to manage daily life. They work closely with families, carers, mental health services, and other supports to ensure a holistic, coordinated approach.

The Role of NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coaches

Under the NDIS, Psychosocial Recovery Coaches assist participants with the following:

  • Developing and implementing recovery plans
  • Strengthening decision-making abilities
  • Building capacity and confidence
  • Coordinating mental health supports
  • Navigating the NDIS system and advocating for services

NDIS Recovery Coaches bring lived or learned experience in mental health and combine this with coaching principles to empower participants. This helps to create a safe space for goal setting, problem-solving, and emotional growth.

Benefits of Working with NDIS Recovery Coaches

Choosing the right NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coaches can make a significant difference in the life of a participant. Here are just a few benefits:

  • Personalised Support: Every recovery journey is unique. Coaches tailor their support based on individual goals and challenges.
  • Empowerment: Participants are encouraged to take control of their lives and make informed decisions.
  • Consistency: Coaches offer continuous support, helping to maintain motivation and structure.
  • Connection: Coaches help participants stay connected to services, communities, and support networks.
