The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/<!-- Messenger Chat plugin Code -->     <div id=&quot;fb-root&quot;><\/div>      <!-- Your Chat plugin code -->     <div id=&quot;fb-customer-chat&quot; class=&quot;fb-customerchat&quot;>     <\/div>      <script>       var chatbox = document.getElementById('fb-customer-chat');       chatbox.setAttribute(&quot;page_id&quot;, &quot;106108485085007&quot;);       chatbox.setAttribute(&quot;attribution&quot;, &quot;biz_inbox&quot;);        window.fbAsyncInit = function() {         FB.init({           xfbml            : true,           version          : 'v11.0'         });       };        (function(d, s, id) {         var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];         if (d.getElementById(id)) return;         js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;         js.src = 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk\/xfbml.customerchat.js';         fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);       }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));     <\/script>&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;>Myth of Mental Illness<\/a> as a form of social control and an amazing source of revenue for the pharmaceutical industry is well recognised. And so, it is from this base of perception and understanding that we explore a very new paradigm based on evidence from academic clinicians working in the mental health field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychosocial Recovery at its very core is an almost complete reversal of thinking and perception from the Bio-medical model. This approach recognises that every person has free will and the right to choose their treatment options. The Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (PSRC) model does not pay any attention to the task of diagnosis, especially from the Diagnostic Statistics Manual (DSM), as we focus on the functional reality of what is stopping a person from living a full and satisfying life as a result of a mental health crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this regard, PSRC practice draws from the work of William Glasser and his model of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MENJyjWU1IE&amp;list=PLmpOm5Wvj2KlRpLRr6M2PV-BWAYFwVtbm&amp;index=17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Choice Theor<\/a>y and Reality Therapy. Glasser&#8217;s model for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9cTp5tiElnw&amp;list=PLmpOm5Wvj2KlRpLRr6M2PV-BWAYFwVtbm&amp;index=17&amp;t=3s\" target=\"_blank\">understanding behaviou<\/a>r has been widely adopted in the Treatment of Addiction and the fields of Education and Corrective Services because it has proven so effective. Combined with the techniques from the Stages of Change Model and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s3MCJZ7OGRk&amp;list=PLmpOm5Wvj2KlRpLRr6M2PV-BWAYFwVtbm&amp;index=25&amp;t=4s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Motivational Interviewing<\/a> techniques, Psychosocial Recovery Coaches can assist people to recover from their mental and spiritual crisis. Rather than believing they are stuck with a mental illness for the rest of their life, at the core of Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is the attitude of assisting people to regain a sense of hope, that change is possible and achievable, that they are in a temporary situation and they are worthy to receive the best possible assistance to recover from their current situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a recovery coach?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A recovery coach can support you with your recovery from a mental health crisis or diagnosed issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery means being able to live a purposeful and meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recovery coach is an NDIS funded worker that has mental health knowledge either from lived experience, learned experience (Qualifications in Mental Health) or a mixture of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recovery coach will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>spend time with you, and people important to you, to get to know you and understand your needs<\/li><li>help you to find out about different services and supports, and how these can assist you<\/li><li>help you get support from mental health services<\/li><li>help you better understand the NDIS and support you with the NDIS<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose a recovery coach with lived experience.&nbsp; A recovery coach with lived experience has their own lived experience of mental health issues, and recovery, are able to use this experience to inform their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
