How can Mental Health Support Workers help?

Emotional support and assistance

One of the main roles of support workers is to provide emotional support and assistance to NDIS participants. Many people with mental health conditions can feel isolated, overwhelmed, and helpless, and it’s crucial to have someone to talk to and lean on during these times. Mental health support workers can offer coping strategies, and provide a safe and supportive environment for NDIS participants to express themselves.

Assistance with daily living activities

Another essential service that our support workers can provide is practical assistance with daily living activities. People with mental health conditions can find it challenging to manage their day-to-day activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. Mental health support workers can assist with these activities, ensuring that NDIS participants can maintain their independence and live comfortably.

They can also help with:

Formulating a recovery plan with the participant

Providing community access and reducing social isolation

Encouraging physical activity, walking and going to the gym

Providing support with shopping and attending medical appointments

Capacity building by educating participants and mentoring them

Keeping the house clean

Meal planning and grocery shopping

Cooking

Paying bills

Budgeting

Personal care and grooming

Medication management

Mental health support workers can also help NDIS participants with their medication management. Many people with mental health conditions need to take medication to manage their symptoms, and it is essential to take the right medication at the right time. Mental health support workers can provide reminders, monitor medication compliance, and liaise with healthcare providers to ensure that NDIS participants are getting the right medication.

Connect with support services

Our support workers can connect NDIS participants with other support services and resources. They can also provide referrals and assist with the coordination of care. As mental health conditions can be complex, it is often helpful to have access to a range of services and resources that can help manage symptoms and promote recovery.
