Mental Health Support
Person-centred mental health support for NDIS participants, helping people build confidence, wellbeing and a greater lifestyle.
Mental Health Support
EC Care provides mental health support for NDIS participants and people of All Abilities who need assistance to improve daily living, wellbeing, confidence and community connection.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme can provide support for people with disabilities, including disability related to a mental health condition. EC Care supports participants with a person-centred approach that respects individual needs, goals, routines and support preferences.
Our trained staff can assist with implementing Positive Behaviour Support Plans, using proactive and least restrictive strategies to support participants in a safe, respectful and consistent way.
Mental health support for NDIS participants
Mental health support can play an important role in helping participants manage daily routines, build confidence, stay connected with others and work towards a better quality of life.
EC Care provides support for participants with mental health-related support needs, including people living with anxiety, schizophrenia, depression, post-natal depression, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, dementia and Korsakoff syndrome.
Person-centred support
Every participant’s situation is different. EC Care uses a person-centred approach to understand each person’s needs, strengths, goals, triggers, routines and preferred way of receiving support.
Support may focus on daily living, emotional wellbeing, community access, social connection, personal routines, positive behaviour support and helping participants feel more confident and supported in everyday life.
Positive Behaviour Support Plans
Where a participant has a Positive Behaviour Support Plan, EC Care staff can assist with implementing agreed strategies as part of the participant’s support arrangements.
Our approach focuses on proactive support and least restrictive reactive strategies, helping promote safety, consistency, dignity and respect for the participant and the people around them.
Support across local communities
EC Care provides mental health support across its service areas, helping participants and families access practical assistance that supports lifestyle, independence and wellbeing.
