NDIS Social Work Services

Paula Ackers providing Social Work Services

Improved Daily Living

I support people to live the life they want. This can be achieved through:

counselling
providing education to clients and the other people in their lives that are supporting them such as family, friends, guardians, and support workers
supporting clients in assessing what support they need to achieve their goals
training family and support workers to meet the client's needs
collaborate with other allied health professionals to implement plans and therapeutic requirements
assessing needs for plan reviews
supporting clients to change areas in their lives such as work, education, recreation, relationships, and changes in living or housing requirements
supporting clients to improve their mental health and wellbeing by developing self-care plans through a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach
