Counselling & Theraputic support (Improved Daily Living)
Therapeutic supports under the NDIS are designed to help you navigate challenging times when you may struggle to establish coping strategies, build resilience, or manage distress. I am here to work alongside you to enhance your capacity and resilience, enabling you to engage in the activities you enjoy in your daily life.
This could include:
Community Participation: Finding ways to connect with your community and engage in social activities.
Identifying Hobbies: Exploring interests such as cooking, gardening, or other hobbies that bring you joy.
Spending Time with Friends: Fostering connections and enjoying meaningful time with loved ones.
The type of assessments I conduct will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements as outlined in your current NDIS plan. Together, we can develop strategies and supports that empower you to thrive. I look forward to supporting you through these challenging times and helping you build a fulfilling life!
Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination (Capacity Building)
With Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination, you gain access to a qualified professional who has the skills and experience necessary to help you navigate and overcome any barriers related to your psychosocial disability (mental health condition). The systems surrounding the NDIS and other service providers can be complex, and having someone who understands these intricacies to advocate for you is invaluable.
At Positive Life Choices, we are committed to ensuring you maximise your NDIS funding and receive the best possible support tailored to your needs. Our approach includes:
Advocacy: We stand by your side, advocating for your rights and needs within the service systems.
Collaboration: We work closely with a range of stakeholders—such as service providers, support coordinators, NDIA representatives, allied health professionals, and agencies in Health, Justice, and Child Safety—to ensure a coordinated effort in helping you achieve your goals.
Psychosocial Assessments: Our social work services include comprehensive assessments that communicate your needs and progress to all relevant parties.
With our support, you’ll be empowered to access the resources and services you require, enhancing your overall well-being and fostering your independence. We’re here to help you navigate your journey with confidence!
Social Support
The work we’ll do together to support you back to positive mental health will enable you to make these differences.
Connect
Connecting with people in your life that uplift you can bring positivity and establish a wider support network. It is also important to connect with yourself so that you better understand your own emotions, thoughts, and responses.
Hope
Developing positive coping skills can help you deal with the stress that ebbs and flows throughout your life. Learning strategies to manage your stress can prevent you from becoming overwhelmed and experiencing anxiety or panic attacks.
Identify
Identifying your values and what is important to you will help you to set and achieve personal goals. Recognising your core values can help you to understand yourself to grow as a person.
Meaning
Developing ways that you can make meaningful contributions not only to your own life but to the lives of your loved ones can provide you with a sense of direction. We help you to create meaning in your life and give each day a purpose.
Empowerment
We will assist you to realise your full potential. When you feel empowered in your life, your actions become more meaningful, enabling you to move through the world with more confidence in your capability as a person.
Ways you can maintain positive mental health may include:
Seeking professional guidance through counselling, natural supports, and your GP
Connecting with others
Having a positive outlook (practicing daily affirmations)
Physical activity (walking, dance, yoga)
Helping others (volunteering)
Getting enough sleep, rest and relaxation (meditation, peaceful music)
