Managing Your Mental Health with our NDIS Funding and Support
Living with a disability can present unique challenges, and managing mental health can become even more complex. Fortunately, with the support of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), individuals can access the necessary resources, services, and financial assistance to manage their mental health effectively. At Paramount Care Solutions, we are dedicated to helping individuals navigate our Newcastle mental health services tailored to meet specific needs, including mental health support through NDIS funding.
What Does the NDIS Offer?
The NDIS provides individuals living with disabilities the ability to take control of their care needs, including mental health management. One of the key advantages of the NDIS is the flexibility and control it offers to participants in selecting the support and services they need. The funding provided by the NDIS is based on the type of disability and its impact, rather than your income or capital. This means that your financial situation doesn’t limit your ability to access services for mental health support.
Moreover, the NDIS doesn’t affect any other income support you may be receiving, such as the Disability Support Pension (DSP) or Carers Allowance. This ensures that individuals can receive the necessary support without worrying about losing other essential benefits.
Who Is Eligible for NDIS Funding?
To access NDIS funding, individuals must meet certain eligibility criteria. You may be eligible if you:
- Are aged between 7 and 65
- Live in Australia and are an Australian resident
- Experience a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to perform everyday activities
- Require support from others due to your disability, or need special equipment to assist with your daily tasks
- Need support now to reduce your future care needs
The NDIS is designed to provide participants with the necessary resources to ensure they can live independently and manage their mental health and other needs effectively. If you meet these criteria, you can benefit from the wide range of support that the NDIS offers, including those provided by Paramount Care Solutions.
Our Mental Health Support Services
At Paramount Care Solutions, we offer an array of mental health support services designed to address the diverse needs of individuals living with disabilities. Our services are specifically designed to support those who need assistance with mental health management, as well as individuals who require comprehensive disability support. Here’s an overview of the key mental health support services we provide:
Individual Counselling
Mental health is a personal journey, and individual counselling allows participants to address their unique concerns with a professional who understands their needs. Our licensed and experienced counsellors provide confidential one-on-one sessions where clients can explore feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional struggles.
Group Therapy
Sometimes, mental health support is most effective in a group setting. Our group therapy sessions provide participants with the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences. In a supportive, group-based environment, individuals can gain valuable insights, share coping strategies, and create a network of support that can enhance their mental health journey.
Crisis Intervention
When facing an emotional crisis, immediate support is essential. Our crisis intervention team is available 24/7 to provide urgent mental health support. Whether it’s distress or a mental health emergency, our team is ready to provide stabilisation, immediate assistance, and the necessary steps to help participants regain stability.
Family and Couples Therapy
Mental health challenges often affect relationships. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or other emotional concerns, our family and couples therapy services aim to improve communication, understanding, and emotional support within relationships.
Psychoeducation Workshops
Knowledge is empowering when it comes to managing mental health. Our psychoeducation workshops provide valuable information on various topics like stress management, building resilience, and practicing self-care. These workshops equip individuals with the tools needed to take charge of their mental health and cultivate a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
