NDIS Support Coordination in Perth,WA -Taking Care of Your Mind: A Journey Defined by Resolve

Mental health impacts almost every aspect of our lives. It affects our physical health, influences our thoughts, controls our behaviour, shapes our psychological, emotional and social well-being. Myriad studies have identified that people with disabilities experience more mental distress than those without disabilities. Living with a disability in itself is a challenge and the added struggle of fragile mental health will impose additional barriers in the life of differently-abled individuals. Hence it is important to pay attention to their mental health well-being and offer those vulnerable people support during these difficult times.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has thrown several challenges, especially for people with disabilities. The NDIS released a Covid-19 information pack for them with several tips to take care of their mental health and well-being. NDIS recommends its participants stay connected with friends and family and seek support. There are several organisations like 'Beyond Blue’ or ‘Head Space’ where people suffering from mental health issues can get guidance and support. They have professionals with whom you can talk about your issues. Following a fixed routine and reducing the consumption of news while keeping a lookout for expert advice from reliable sources regarding pandemic precautions will help you to stay calm. Staying home and engaging in your favourite hobbies will also boost your morale. The NDIS also recommends downloading the COVID-19 Financial Survival Guide from the website of the National Debt Helpline for financial support and advice during the pandemic. NDIS participants can avail themselves of the services of a Psychosocial Recovery Coach if that’s included in their NDIS plan. Participants can also request in the planning review to have Psychosocial recovery coach funding included in the plan depending on their mental health needs and diagnosis.

People with disabilities are often disproportionately impacted by mental health challenges. Life can be even more challenging if the person has a psychosocial disability. In Australia,mental health services are available under ‘mainstream supports’ across all states and territories to everyone. These state-run mental health systems are usually responsible for clinical services such as diagnoses and treatments. National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) mainly funds mental health services that are not clinical and that which helps people with disabilities to improve their day-to-day functionality, recovery, and social participation.

In recent years, NDIS has made some significant efforts towards providing mental health support items such as a psychosocial recovery coach. The goal is to help the NDIS participants lead a recovery-oriented life. A psychosocial recovery coach is an NDIS funded support worker who has mental health knowledge. They are well trained and often have various certifications in mental health or mental health peer work. Some recovery coaches can even help you with knowledge gained from their mental health journey. They are referred to as recovery coaches with lived experiences. An NDIS funded psychosocial recovery coach will spend quality time with you and your loved ones to assess your needs. Then with the help of their extensive knowledge about NDIS and related disability services, they can help you access the needful amenities for tending to your mind and body.
