What is recovery?

The psychosocial recovery model is a way of helping people focus on their strengths and ability to bounce back. This approach supports you to be in charge of your life, connect with your community, and find meaning and purpose.

    NDIS Participant

  • “It was really nice meeting you yesterday and I really appreciate the time you gave me to allow me to vent - but most of all I gained a different perspective on a couple of things which I feel are beneficial. So thank you! After working out - is it the person, or the problem, I can hopefully change my approach and ease some of the frustration”

    Carer Gateway Client

  • “I feel that I am on track with my life and am able to reclaim feelings of control. I’m enjoying life more and seeing a positive future. When talking about trauma with the counsellor I feel that there is an island of safety and journaling has really helped with this”

    Private Client

  • “Once I warmed up to it and found my groove, I really enjoyed the Be Well Program. The most useful part for me was learning to manage stress, I take that time to think first before I speak or act it has been great. Kim is passionate and her approach to teaching and love of mental health and wellbeing is infectious. This is what sets it apart”

    Be Well Program Graduate

    NDIS Participant Carer

  • “The facilitated mindful breathing had a calming effect and helped my son to refocus. I’m also very happy with the personal care strategies that have been put in place and some negative behaviours have reduced. He’s sleeping better with night-time routines having helped with this. There has also been overall improvement including schooling. Together they’ve been a wonderful support team”

    NDIS Participant Carer

  • “Fleurieu helped me access some dating courses plus worked with me on safety, assertion and positive relationship skills and feeling more confident. These relationship confidence skills have allowed me to apply for jobs and go for interviews and connect to other social groups including a local meditation course that interested me”

    NDIS Participant

  • “They were the best support for me when I went into hospital, spending time with me listening to how I felt, what I was afraid of and what was going to happen when I came out of hospital. They organised a GP for me who I really like and other referrals and stayed with me every step of the way. I’m really grateful”

    NDIS Participant

  • The therapeutic sessions helped me prepare and celebrate a milestone occasion for my daughter. My daughter was so touched, after all we’ve been through as a family, she cried happy tears. As a mum who lives with a significant disability, it’s so important for my wellbeing to be able to contribute to my family’s life in the way I want to. I really appreciate the people at Fleurieu Wellbeing.”

    NDIS Participant

  • “The counsellor assisted me to get a specialist financial counsellor to sort out my budget, she arranged food vouchers for me and transport to collect food. Plus she helped me apply for jobs and explore other interests. She gave me listening resources to help me sleep which I use 3 times a week and an exercise and food diary with improvements in sleep patterns and health routines”

    NDIS Participant

  • “Talking with the counsellor has helped me to see when a tsunami wave is coming in my mind and how I can surf it. I feel wiser that I have grown from mistakes and the narrative therapy tree of life really helped me see that”

    Private Client
