PSYCHOSOCIAL RECOVERY COACH

WHAT IS A RECOVERY COACH?

A recovery coach is an NDIS-funded worker with training and knowledge in mental health. Recovery coaching is funded in NDIS plans for people with psychosocial support needs. A recovery coach will:

Get to know you and the people that are important to you

Help you discover different services and supports that may help you

help you get support from mental health services

Help you better understand the NDIS and how to use it.

You can choose a recovery coach with lived experience. A recovery coach with lived experience is someone who has had their own experience of mental illness and recovery. They use their experiences to inform their work and help others.
