Practical support for people experiencing mental health challenges.

Wellness Connect NPSP offers community-based, one-to-one coaching and group activities that support recovery for people with mental health challenges.

Support can focus on receiving practical help with daily living, looking after your health, finding a home, gaining employment as well as improving your connections with family, friends and the community.

Get Support, Get Connected

Improve your health and wellbeing

Using a recovery focus, we support you at the times when you need it most. An experienced mental health support worker will walk beside you in your recovery.

You’ll learn strategies and develop skills that help you to:

  • Identify your strengths

  • Build healthy coping skills

  • Achieve your goals

  • Find people to help you improve your health and wellbeing

  • Strengthen your support networks

  • Stay safe

Mental health recovery

We believe that recovery is an individual process and that with the right kind of support each person can move towards a life that reflects their values and goals for the future.

Support offered

  • One-on-one support for 3-6 months to identify goals, link into local services and supports, build confidence and networks

  • A group-based program of up to 12 months. Groups cover 3 broad categories – social and recreational skills, practical skills and emotional self-regulation

  • Support to test eligibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), including assistance to gather evidence and complete application.

The Service Navigator is available to Wellness Connect NPSP participants as an additional support identifying relevant services and facilitating supported referrals.

Our group activities

Each week we run a diverse range of groups, including bowling, walking, fishing, culture and arts, peer support, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills and coffee groups.
