Life can bring challenges our way, and sometimes we all need a little extra support. This is especially true for NDIS participants who may face additional obstacles in managing their mental wellbeing. Bharosa Community Services understands that mental health is just as important as physical health.
The Importance of Mental Health Support
Feeling stressed, anxious, or down can have a big impact on our daily lives. It can affect our relationships, work, and overall sense of well-being. If you’re an NDIS participant and struggling with your mental health, you’re not alone. There are many resources available to help you, and Bharosa Community Services is here to guide you.
Strategies for Better Mental Health
- Building a Support Network:
Having a strong support network of friends, family, and professionals is necessary. Talking to someone you trust can be a huge weight off your shoulders. Our social & community participation services can help you connect with others and build meaningful relationships.
- Finding Healthy Coping Mechanisms:
Everyone has different ways of managing stress and anxiety. Some find solace in exercise, others enjoy creative outlets like painting or writing. Support workers at Bharosa can help you explore healthy coping mechanisms that work for you.
- Seeking Professional Help:
There’s no shame in seeking professional help for your mental health. Bharosa works with qualified mental health professionals who can provide therapy and support to get you back on track.
