What is the Difference between Support Coordination and Recovery Coach Services?
My Choice Supports Recovery Coaches all have a learned (and sometimes) a lived experience of mental health. This means that they have all studied and/or developed their career supporting people living with a mental health condition and delivering person certred, recovery-oriented support.
Support Coordinators do not necessarily have experience supporting people with a mental health condition. The main difference is that generally, Recovery Coaching is a more connected experience offering support around a recovery support/action plan and more hours of supports in a plan.
At My Choice Supports, we believe that all Recovery Coaches should also understand how to deliver Support Coordination services. This is because there are only rare occasions that both Recovery Coaching and Support Coordination are both funded in a plan. Yet, we find that Participants request workers who also have a very good understanding of how to assist them to navigate the NDIS system.
Support Coordination and Recovery Coaching assists you to understand, implement and maximise your NDIS experience. Every participant has the right to a positive NDIS experience.
We understand that navigating the NDIS can be a confusing and stressful experience. New language, new processes and constant uncertainty add to the challenges. Every day we strive to support people to navigate the uncertainty. Our services support you to meet your goals and achieve the life you choose to make connections that work for you and your lifestyle.
We believe in our values of Partnership, Collaboration and Innovation, and these beliefs shine through in everything that we do.
By choosing My Choice Supports as your Support Coordination or Recovery Coach partner, you are ensuring you are working with a team who strive for excellence in their knowledge of the NDIS and are with you every step of the way.
We first support you to understand your plan and the flexibility that is written into it. We help you to unpack what it means and assist you to find the best service providers to help you meet your goals. And then track and review your services with you, throughout your plan.
