Therapeutic Supports
The government’s aim is to provide people with disabilities the support they need to lead comfortable and fulfilling lives. This is why the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was created. NDIS gives people in supported living various ways to manage their disabilities, empowering them to take control.
What is the NDIS all about?
NDIS offers personalized support packages for people with disabilities. This support also includes their families and caregivers. NDIS helps people with disabilities set and reach their goals by:
- Promoting social and economic involvement
- Gaining more independence
- Offering great support.
- The daily activities of the participant like going to the shops
- Transportation for those unable to get around by themselves, allowing greater exposure to social activities
- Employment opportunities
- Help maintaining the cleanliness and neatness of their homes
- Any design modifications required to their their homes
- Mobility equipment and vehicle modifications tailored to their needs
- Therapeutic supports including behaviour support
CareAssist Australia is a team of NDIS registered psychologists and counsellors located in Brisbane, Queensland. Our psychologists are skilled in supporting people with disabilities. We focus on encouraging positive changes and helping participants build self-awareness to enhance their lives and social interactions. We respect each participant’s abilities and provide psychological care in a non-judgmental way. Transportation and accommodation are key challenges for people with disabilities in Queensland.
CareAssist Australia offers in-home counselling services when needed, allowing participants to attend sessions in the comfort of their own homes. This makes it easier for them to receive quality care.
Goals: How to Set and Reach Them
- Short-term goals can be achieved in a year;
- Medium to long-term goals may take several years to achieve.
The participant and their coordinator create short-term goals to achieve long-term goals.
People with disabilities can set important goals for themselves. CareAssist Australia helps create a supportive environment for achieving these goals. Working towards these goals can empower individuals with disabilities, making them stronger emotionally, physically, and mentally. CareAssist Australia helps participants overcome obstacles that stop them from dreaming big.
Addressing personal growth barriers is a top priority for CareAssist Australia. We believe the first step in achieving goals is to tackle internal barriers before external ones. Ignoring internal struggles while facing outside challenges is just a temporary solution and won’t lead to lasting success.
As participants grow stronger and more empowered, reaching their goals becomes easier, even with the challenges they may face.
Therapeutic Support
NDIS registered organizations should help participants become more independent and aware of themselves, so they can set and achieve their goals. Each session is customized to fit the individual needs of the participant.
At CareAssist Australia, we do more than just help participants reach their goals. We also collaborate with participants’ carers and Support Coordinators to address daily mental health issues.
Therapy support counseling sessions include:
- One-on-One Support
- Group Therapy Tasks
- Support Groups
- Community Support Help
One-on-One Counseling
Individual counseling is a one-on-one meeting between the client and the psychologist focused on improving mental health. The aim is to help the client overcome negative thoughts or barriers that block their goals. It encourages clients to understand and accept themselves better, build their skills, and tap into personal resources. This process helps them become their best selves and can inspire others starting their journey.
Support Groups
In a group counseling session, participants meet in small groups to talk with psychologists. These sessions allow participants to connect, set shared goals, exchange ideas, make friends, and form bonds. The aim of group counseling is to improve social and communication skills. This helps build their confidence to take part in social activities, which can improve their chances of finding a job.
Group Support
In group therapy, different professionals join forces to support participants and help them achieve their goals. This can include the participant’s other NDIS providers, such as Art Therapists, Rehabilitation Counsellors, Social Workers, or Occupational Therapists. At CareAssist Australia, our psychologists work alongside these professionals in the same session. Counseling sessions are suggested for participants who understand how to deal with mental health issues and set goals.
Community Help
CareAssist Australia helps participants connect with their community through group sessions with other NDIS members. This program focuses on building social and community goals, in addition to personal goals. It also expands participants’ social networks by offering various activities.
