What is a Psychosocial Recovery Coach?

Psychosocial recovery coaches assist individuals with psychosocial disabilities in recognising, reflecting on, and taking charge of their recovery journey.

They collaborate with individuals, their families, carers, and other services to create and implement personalized recovery plans, while also helping to coordinate additional NDIS supports.

Individuals have the option to work with a recovery coach who brings either lived or learned experience of psychosocial disability.
