Personalised Support
Confidential Counselling
We provide access to confidential counselling and support for children and families in a number of areas. These areas include understanding the impact of disability, self-esteem, parenting strategies and education.
Facilitating peer support and networking
Peer support is when people provide knowledge, experience, emotional, social or practical support to one other.
Therapy Assessments
We will undertake a psychosocial functional capacity assessment, implement a positive behaviour support plan and provide recommendations or referrals for specialised support services.
Accessing Community Resources
Our social workers can help access community supports and resources that can assist you and your family. This might be anything from finding support groups and other groups within your community who have had similar experiences to your own or finding a playground to suit the needs of your child. Whatever it is you need, we’ll support you.
Support for Early Childhood
Northcott Social Workers can support the whole family that cares for a child with a disability. If your child is under 9 years of age, social work is available under the NDIS Early Childhood approach. At Northcott, this can include:
- Quarterly phone calls/emails/in-centre sessions to support the wellbeing of the family
- Linking with key stakeholders in the local region including facilitation of referrals to other community and government services
- Support in liaising with education, health and other community services
- Liaison with other members of the Northcott Therapy team to coordinate services and share information
- Support to access interpreter services and ensuring that all documentation and plans are translated to ensure positive outcomes
- Support to implement any Positive Behaviour Support Plan recommendations
- Support to meet the goals of the NDIS plan
- Working with your family and extended network to understand the impact of disability
