Course structure

Developed by Swinburne educators with NDIS industry partners specialising in psychosocial recovery programs.  Our introductory short course to psychosocial recovery coaching was created for people who are new to the role and/or people wanting to build on their existing skills. The course is delivered online in an active and participatory format via our CANVAS learner management system. A webcam and microphone are required. The instructor leads online training sessions provide the opportunity for you to bring your own experience and knowledge to share as you reflect, refine and practice specialist recovery coaching skills.

Guided by the NDIS Guidelines for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, this live online short course includes topics such as recovery orientated practice, strengths based, collaborative and trauma-informed care. It also includes essential knowledge about NDIS language and plans, and how to marry these with Recovery Plans, alongside real world case studies.
