Your support will be tailored to your individual needs, goals and circumstances, and will include:

Recovery Coaching, like Support Coordination, belongs to the NDIS ‘Capacity Building’ registration group, and both will assist you to plan how to use your NDIS funding by determining the services that will best assist you meet your goals and connecting you with these services. Unlike Support Coordination, Recovery Coaching specialises in providing support to individuals living with a psychosocial disability, and will help you achieve your plan goals with a recovery-oriented focus that is tailored to support your mental health recovery. Due to the complexities of living with psychosocial disabilities, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching often receives a higher hour allocation than Support Coordination to allow for additional support from your Recovery Coach through any mental health crises.
At BlueSky Mind Studio our Recovery Coaches are trained mental health professionals, or individuals with lived experience of a psychosocial disability, who will get to know you and the people who are important to you. Recovery Coaches help you set your recovery goals, and will provide strength based coaching to build your motivation, resilience and decision making skills.
Funding for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is generally available to NDIS participants with psychosocial support needs. You can choose to have Psychosocial Recovery Coaching added to your NDIS plan under the Capacity Building registration group.
If you are currently receiving Support Coordination but think that Recovery Coaching could be more helpful to your recovery, speak to your Support Coordinator or contact the NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator to discuss how to access Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. Generally you will not be able to receive both Support Coordination and Recovery Coaching in your plan.
