A Psychosocial Recovery Coach (PRC) is a dedicated support professional funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). At Supported Living SA, our PRCs have either personal experience with psychosocial disabilities or specialized training to provide expert care. Their primary goal is to help NDIS participants create personalized recovery plans and offer ongoing support to achieve their goals.
Our PRCs work closely with participants, their families, carers, and other service providers to design, plan, and implement recovery strategies. They also coordinate NDIS services and other supports, ensuring a comprehensive approach to recovery. The ultimate aim is to guide participants toward long-term recovery, enhance their quality of life, and build a strong support network. With an empathetic, non-judgmental approach, our PRCs remain dedicated to helping you reach your NDIS goals and improve your well-being.
