Mental health recovery is a unique and individualised journey that requires a person-centered approach. At Amity Mental Wellness, we understand the importance of empowering individuals to take control of their recovery journey. Our recovery-oriented approach recognizes the significance of personal goals, self-determination, and individualised care.

The Power of Recovery-Oriented Language

Recovery-oriented language is a vital component of NDIS support, focusing on empowering individuals to take control of their recovery journey. This approach recognizes the importance of personal goals, self-determination, and individualised care.

The Benefits of a Recovery-Oriented Approach

 Reducing stigma by emphasising potential and growth
 Fostering self-esteem and trust through empowering language
 Promoting person-centered practice, placing the individual at the center of their recovery

The Importance of Community Support and Support Coordinators

Community support is essential for individuals with mental health conditions. A supportive community provides a safe and encouraging environment for individuals to seek and receive support.

The Role of Support Coordinators

 Providing a supportive network, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation
 Promoting a sense of belonging and connection, fostering a culture of empowerment and hope
 Encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their own recovery
 Ensuring individuals receive the care and support they need to thrive

Our tailored assessments, mental health support workers, and nutrition specialised support work collaboratively to enhance client outcomes.

Starting the Journey to Recovery

As a general member of the public, individuals can take the following steps to start their journey towards recovery:

Acknowledge and accept their condition and be willing to seek help
 Identify their strengths, values, and goals and use these to guide their recovery
Build a support network of family, friends, and mental health professionals
 Learn about their condition, its treatment options, and how to manage symptoms
 Develop coping skills and strategies to manage stress and adversity
 Focus on building a fulfilling life, including engaging in activities that bring purpose and meaning

Common Barriers to Accessing Recovery-Oriented Support and Care

Stigma and discrimination, leading to feelings of shame and isolation
 Limited availability and accessibility of mental health services, particularly in rural areas
Lack of knowledge and understanding about mental health conditions and treatment options
 Financial constraints and limited funding for mental health services
 Difficulty navigating the mental health system and accessing appropriate support

The Role of Carers and Mental Health Professionals

Carers can support their loved ones receiving NDIS support by:

Fostering a supportive and non-judgemental environment
 Helping their loved one to identify and pursue their goals and aspirations

Providing education and support to help individuals develop coping skills and strategies
