In this webinar, Fighting Chance’s Senior Support Coordinator, Alex Browne, deep dives into psychosocial disability, a term used to describe a disability that may arise from a mental health issue. Alex guides attendees through everything from NDIS eligibility criteria, to what can be funded and how a psychosocial recovery coach can support participants with psychosocial disabilities to live a full and contributing life.
Alex covers the following:
- What is a psychosocial disability within the NDIS?
- What are the eligibility criteria for psychosocial disability?
- What do I do if I am on the NDIS for a different disability, but I want to add psychosocial disability as an access met diagnosis?
- What can I be funded for with a psychosocial disability?
- Does health still play a role as part of my support?
- What is a psychosocial recovery coach?
