Sections on this page

What is psychosocial support?

We offers a range of recovery-based, flexible, community-based support services for people with severe or persistent mental health concerns.

Using a coaching model our support workers use their professional skills and lived experience to listen and support you during regular visits with you in your home and local community. Their role is to support you to increase your independence and build skills, including in self-advocacy.

The number of hours of support provided and the kind of work we do with each person depends on eligibility for different programs. This can range from an hour or two a week to daily check-ins and intensive support.

Support can help with the practical help with daily living, looking after your health, finding a home, gaining employment as well as improving your connections with family, friends and the community.

We support you to learn strategies and develop skills that help you to:

  • Identify your strengths
  • Build resilience
  • Achieve your goals
  • Find people to help you improve your wellbeing
  • Connect with family or with your community
  • Improve your physical health
