What is a Recovery Coach and Mentor?
A Recovery Coach is a new NDIS support item for participants with a psychosocial disability who require support managing complex challenges of daily living.
Recovery coaches will focus on coaching participants in managing their lives and will collaborate with other services to support these outcomes.
Participants will have the option of selecting a recovery coach with lived experience or a recovery coach with learned knowledge of psychosocial disability and mental health.
Specifically, recovery coaches support people to:
develop and support recovery-enabling relationships for participants
coach participants to increase their recovery skills and personal capacity
ensure that other supports are recovery-oriented
Recovery coaches will work with a participants’ family, carers and relevant service providers to implement a recovery plan.
