Therapy Supports & Planning

Respond provides evidence-informed therapy supports tailored to the person’s goals, support needs, and individual circumstances.

Self-advocacy, choice and control, supported decision-making and problem-solving
Communication, conflict resolution, relationship skills, family dynamics and informal support networks
Social connection, community participation, reducing isolation and accessing mainstream or community services
Routines, executive functioning, self-management and practical daily life strategies
Risk assessment, crisis prevention, stabilisation support and safety planning
Psychoeducation for participants, family members, carers and informal supports
Care team communication, goal tracking, outcome reviews, NDIS-aligned reporting and plan review preparation
Adjustment to disability, diagnosis, life transitions, grief, loss and changing support needs

Social & Emotional Capacity Building

Social and emotional capacity building focuses on the skills, strategies and supports that help people participate more fully in daily life and community.

Support may focus on:

Understanding emotions, stress responses and patterns of coping
Building confidence in communication and relationships
Strengthening self-advocacy and decision-making
Navigating change, uncertainty and life transitions
Developing boundaries and safer relationship patterns
Building routines that support wellbeing and participation
Increasing connection with community, services and informal supports
Translating NDIS goals into practical therapeutic actions

Care Team Collaboration:

With consent, Respond Therapeutic Services can communicate with Support Coordinators, family members, carers, allied health providers, mental health services, schools, employers, housing services and other care team members.

This can assist with shared planning, clearer communication, coordinated goals and more consistent support.

Care team collaboration may include:

Case discussions
Goal planning
Support strategy development
Risk and safety planning
Progress updates
Report recommendations
Plan review preparation
Clarifying social work therapy goals within the broader support team

Support for Families, Carers & Informal Supports:

Social work support can also include psychoeducation and consultation with family members, carers and informal supports, where this is relevant to the participant’s goals and provided with consent.

This may include support to better understand disability-related needs, strengthen communication, develop practical support strategies, reduce relationship strain and create more consistent support across daily environments.
