Goal Coach’s outcomes-based approach works with mental health services and the NDIS
Prior to her discharge, Macy connected with Goal Coach. “I found accessing Goal Coach was really simple. Once I made a booking on their website, a Goal Coach team member contacted me straight away.” After meeting with a recovery coach, Macy was able to identify areas in her recovery journey that she wanted to work on. Together they identified her strengths and goals and were able to prioritize an action plan based on the things that mattered most. Working together, Macy and her recovery coach created a tailored recovery plan to meet her goals that included creating social connections, engaging in volunteer work, managing her lifestyle, and being able to confidently leave the house to access the community. Macy’s recovery coach also supported her to select her NDIS supports to assist her meeting her goals. She connected with allied health supports, an exercise physiologist and occupational therapist as well as daily support staff to build her capacity.
