Promoting Recovery with NDIS Participants

Course Overview

Explore how disability support workers can support people with psychosocial disability in ways that strengthen personal recovery, independence, choice, connection and participation in everyday life.

Why take this course?

Recovery looks different for every person. It is not simply about managing symptoms or mental health challenges. Personal recovery is about supporting someone to build a life that is meaningful to them, based on their own goals, preferences, strengths and aspirations.

For disability support workers, recovery-oriented practice means listening to the person, respecting their choices and supporting them to have greater control over their own life. It involves working in ways that are person-centred, strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and collaborative.

Recovery can also be influenced by what is happening in a person's wider life. Things such as housing, finances, transport, relationships, discrimination, community connection and access to services can all affect a person's wellbeing and opportunities.

This course looks at how recovery-oriented practice can be applied during everyday NDIS support and the practical knowledge, attitudes and skills workers can use to help participants pursue a meaningful life on their own terms.
