Unlocking Mental Health/Psychosocial Disability: Strategies for NDIS Support Workers (Recording only, Live event has already passed)

*Please note that this is a pre-recorded webinar only, the live event has already occurred* 

Are you a mental health support worker or psychosocial recovery coach? Are you looking to transition into supporting participants with psychosocial disability or mental health challenges? Are you wanting to learn more about mental health to support your clients/participants in your current role? Are you a carer/support person for a participant with a psychosocial disability and want to gain more insights to support them and their support workers? 

Join us for an informative 1-hour webinar experience, jam-packed with content to improve your knowledge around psychosocial disability/mental health. 

Why should I attend? 

Mental health under the NDIS is often not as easily understood as some other forms of disability under the scheme. Understanding mental health and how this presents for participants is important to improving their supports received.

There is significant stigma in the community around mental health conditions and this webinar aims to provide information, which can help increase understanding and confidence in mental health workers to foster improved outcomes for psychosocial disability participants.
