What To Discuss in Your First Meeting With NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coach?

The first meeting with the NDIS psychosocial recovery coach is an essential opportunity to build trust and rapport, as well as discuss aspirations, objectives, and an NDIS plan.

Some of the key topics you can cover in your first meeting are as follows:

• First, you should share an overview of who you are and your background. You should also talk about your current living situation, NDIS plan, support network, and medical diagnosis, if any.
• Understand the role of the psychosocial recovery coach and what you can expect from it. Later, discuss the confidentiality of the information you share with the coach and the third party.
• Talk about the current challenges that you are facing due to mental disorder issues. Discuss the strengths and resources that can support your recovery journey.
• Discuss your past experiences or fruitful strategies that have made adequate progress in your recovery journey.
• Develop a support plan with the coach and outline short-term and long-term goals to reach your aspiration in the process of recovery.
• Schedule a follow-up meeting if you are satisfied with your psychosocial recovery coach and openly discuss your support plan and concerns about coaching, if any.
