Why take this course?

Psychosocial recovery coaching is all about balance. That is, balancing recovery-orientated relationships with practical NDIS knowledge. You might have experience working in the mental health space (but not so much with the NDIS stuff). Or you might have NDIS expertise (but not so much the relationship stuff). Or you might be new to both.  

Our Psychosocial Recovery Coach training blends the two. Across 2 intensive and practical days, you’ll build confidence and skills in all areas of the role — whether that’s advocating for your clients or knowing the ins and outs of the NDIS.

What you'll gain

Across 2 days, you’ll get an understanding of… 

  • The role of a Recovery Coach 

  • NDIS basics, like reporting, incident reporting, planning and plan implementation 

  • How to build and maintain recovery-oriented relationships to make positive change

  • Coaching and mentoring skills, including goal setting and reviewing

  • Crisis planning and crisis management

  • Lived-experience, self-care and reflective practice

  • Identifying and connecting to informal, community, mainstream and funded supports

  • Coordinating care teams

Who's it for?

  • Recovery Coaches with 0 - 6 months experience

  • Those who are transitioning from a role as an NDIS Support Worker or from a non-NDIS mental health role — we bridge the gap between the two

What's included?

  • 2 day virtual workshop via Zoom (5 hours each day)

  • Downloadable copy of the slides for you to look back on

  • Certificate of completion
