Hosted by community-based mental health service provider Flourish Australia, the information session will assist people with understanding the NDIS and how it can help local people whose lives have been impacted by a severe mental health issue.
The sessions are for people with a mental health issue, their families and friends and anyone with an interest in mental health.
A special feature is practical advice from people with a psychosocial disability who have successfully applied for an NDIS package and whose lives have been transformed as a result.
Flourish Australia Ulladulla Manager Linda Gilroy said the organisation was going ‘all out’ to provide clear advice on the NDIS.
“It’s not uncommon for a person to struggle with the day-to-day impact of a mental health issue, but not know that help is just around the corner,” Ms Gilroy said.
“The NDIS can look and feel complicated to some, which is why we’re explaining what’s going on in plain-speak. Hearing directly from people who have been through the process can make all the difference to understanding the scheme.
“Many people whose lives have been impacted by a mental health issue can enjoy an independent and meaningful life if they get the right help at the right time, which makes the NDIS so important.”
The forum will be held at Flourish Australia, Shop 35, 107 Princes Highway, Ulladulla, from 1pm to 3pm on Monday, June 5.
