Support for people experiencing mental health challenges.

Get Support, get connected

Wellness Connect offers community-based, one-to-one coaching and groups that support recovery for people whose mental health experience impacts their day-to-day activities.

Support is individual to the person and can focus on exploring strategies to support your daily living, looking after your health, connecting you to housing and employment supports, as well as improving your connections with family, friends and your local community.

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.

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.

Support offered:

  • Up to 12 sessions of one-on-one support to identify goals, link into local services and supports, and build confidence and networks

  • You can also attend a group-based program for up to 12 months. Groups cover three broad categories: social and recreational skills, practical skills and emotional wellbeing

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

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

Our group activities

Each week we run a diverse range of groups with the aim to increase confidence in social connection, build on life skills and support overall wellbeing. Groups on offer change every three months.

“The groups have given me the confidence to get out of home more and make new friends.”
