Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is an NDIS support designed for participants living with psychosocial disability. If you have this funding in your plan, a Psychosocial Recovery Coach can help you build capacity, stay connected to supports and work toward recovery-focused goals.
The NDIS says psychosocial recovery coaches help people with psychosocial disability increase independence and social and economic participation. They help you take more control of your life and manage complex daily living challenges.
What a recovery coach helps with
The NDIS says a recovery coach works with you to:
- build capacity and resilience
- identify, plan, design and coordinate supports
- maintain engagement during times of increased support needs
- build on strengths, knowledge, skills and decision-making.
Recovery coaches also help people connect with health and mental health services outside the NDIS so supports stay linked and make sense together.
How it differs from Support Coordination
Recovery Coaching is specifically for psychosocial disability and is grounded in recovery-focused practice. General Support Coordination helps with implementing a plan, but Recovery Coaching is more closely connected to a person’s recovery journey, fluctuating support needs and broader mental health supports.
When to ask about Recovery Coaching
It may be worth asking about Recovery Coaching if you live with psychosocial disability and need support that feels practical, person-centred and connected to your wider recovery goals.
Taylor Made Outcomes’ current Recovery Coaching page also positions this service around understanding funding, identifying strengths and barriers, and connecting with services that fit your goals.
