Course Overview
Psychosocial disability makes up a large cohort within the NDIS, yet it’s largely misunderstood. This eLearning is the first step to greater understanding.
Why take this course?
Psychosocial disability is defined as a disability that may arise from a mental health issue. A broad definition – yet it’s still one of the most misunderstood disabilities, with many participants experiencing stigmatisation and discrimination due to a lack of education. What’s more, people with psychosocial disability are the third largest cohort to access the NDIS.
This eLearning will give you the information and tips on how to provide best practice supports for participants living with a psychosocial disability. We’ll separate facts from myths and share the unique challenges people with psychosocial disability face in society. The result? You can approach your role with more empathy, understanding and motivation.
