People with disabilities often face numerous obstacles that hinder their social participation, education and employment opportunities. Discrimination and prejudice from society towards differently-abled individuals can negatively impact their mental health and overall well-being. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), discrimination against people with disabilities accounts for 44% of Australian Human Rights Commission complaints. The data based on which AIHW released this statistic is as recent as 2020. Utilizing the potential of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to the maximum is one of the primary ways in which we can tackle the issue of disability discrimination.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that provides the necessary support required by differently-abled individuals to become active members of society. The scheme helps to create a level playing field where people with disabilities can access education, employment and a life of dignity without being dependent on others. NDIS Mental Health Support is one of the critical services offered by the scheme that helps differently-abled individuals strengthen their minds and find the resolve to move forward. The services of a Psychosocial Recovery Coach who can help participants manage their mental well-being and practical implementation of their goal-oriented NDIS plan will immensely impact the trajectory of a person with a disability. Assistance with Daily Living and Community Participation is another NDIS support that ensures access, inclusion and equity for differently-abled individuals.
