Capacity Building Services

Support Coordination

Level 2: Support Coordination

Support Coordinators help people understand and use their plan build and maintain a resilient network of formal and informal supports and pursue their goals.

This level of support service is adaptable and versatile based on individual needs and geared to help build capacity, confidence and skills to manage and direct your own services.

Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination

Specialist Support Coordination is delivered by an appropriately qualified and experienced practitioner to meet the individual needs of the participant’s circumstances such as a Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, Social Worker, or Mental Health Nurse. Specialist Support Coordinators offer a higher level of support coordination which may include managing complex challenges in health, education or housing or high/level risks in a NDIS participants situation.

An important outcome of Specialist Support Coordination is that barriers affecting someone’s capacity and ability to implement their plan are reduced.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

Psychosocial Recovery Coaches provide a type of Support Coordination for NDIS participants with a psychosocial disability, helping them to identify their goals, look for opportunities and support them to make their own choices to live the life they want. It is a strengths-based approach underpinned by strong and respectful relationships.

This support is designed to be able to maintain engagement through periods of increased support needs due to the episodic nature of mental health. Recovery coaches work collaboratively with participants, families, carers and other services to identify, plan, design and coordinate NDIS supports.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching with Richmind WA includes:

Personalised Recovery Planning and NDIS Plan Implementation to actively pursue and achieve your goals.
A focus on building your skills so you can be more independent and resilient.
Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly appointments to develop the working relationship depending on your preference and funding availability.
Non-face-to-face options including phone calls, video calls and emails.
