23.01.2022 YBW Behaviour Support Behaviour support is about creating individualised strategies for people with disability that are responsive to the person’s needs, in a way that reduces the occurrence and impact of behaviours of concern and minimises the use of restrictive practices. How can our team help? As part of our Behaviour Support service, our team can provide the following:... * Information gathering through interviews, observations, data collection and assessment of behaviour to gather a comprehensive understanding of the challenging behaviour. * Development of a dynamic positive behavior support plan, which assists those supporting the individual to understand the triggers and how to respond to the challenging behaviours. * Training in the BSP, Advice, support and consultation relating to behavioural and/or psychological difficulties. Funding If you have an NDIS Plan with Improved Relationships or Improved Daily Living in your Capacity Building budget, we are able to help. We work with NDIA Managed, Plan Managed and Self-Managed customers Find out more about the YBW Behaviour Support Process by contacting us at [email protected]

22.01.2022 Some breaking news about new NDIS assessments ... The Joint Standing Committee on the NDIS have just announced they WILL conduct an inquiry into the use of ind...ependent assessments in the NDIS. The inquiry will look into: the development, modelling, reasons and justifications for the introduction of independent assessments into the NDIS; the impact of similar policies in other jurisdictions and in the provision of other government services; the human and financial resources needed to effectively implement independent assessments; the independence, qualifications, training, expertise and quality assurance of assessors; the appropriateness of the assessment tools selected for use in independent assessments to determine plan funding; the implications of independent assessments for access to and eligibility for the NDIS; the implications of independent assessments for NDIS planning, including decisions related to funding reasonable and necessary supports; the circumstances in which a person may not be required to complete an independent assessment; opportunities to review or challenge the outcomes of independent assessments; the appropriateness of independent assessments for particular cohorts of people with disability, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from regional, rural and remote areas, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; the appropriateness of independent assessments for people with particular disability types, including psychosocial disability; and any other related matters The inquiry is now open and will close on March 31. Anyone can make a submission to the inquiry. It doesn't have to be long or formal - a letter or an email will do the trick. We will also be making a submission - we will tell you how you get can get involved really soon. So stay tuned. If you are worried about what these assessments will mean for you or your family member here is an important chance to have your say. Now is the time to speak up. And please share and help us spread the word. It is important that the committee hears from as many people as possible.

06.01.2022 Provisional psychologists, not quick fix coaches with no experience As of March 2020, there are over 5,500 provisional psychologists available in Australia. Pro...visional psychologists are at a minimum, four or five-year trained psychologists, embarking on a final period of ‘supervised practice’, overseen and mentored by a qualified psychologist. If we have over 5,500 trained psychologists desperate for experience in the field, why are we calling upon those with six weeks of experience to deal with the Australian community at its most vulnerable? With Australians at their most vulnerable, now is not the time to be experimenting on mental health practices. The focus on flattening the mental health curve, while necessary, is myopic. While Australia’s helplines offer an important short-term solution, what happens to those with lasting damage, those who need preventative treatment and long-term, consistent care? The government needs a prevention focus, including to let people self-refer to a psychologist if they have mental health concerns to remove any barriers to getting help. We were heartened to hear the Prime Minister’s commitment recently, saying if more is needed to be done, then more will be done. Here's what needs to be done: The government is encouraging these helplines and GPs to refer cases to psychologists, and psychologists desperately want to help - but there is one major barrier to this working - the Medicare rebate. There are existing, significant barriers that are stopping all Australians from getting the mental health support they need, a barrier that we have fought for some time - the Medicare rebate. The current Medicare system continues to discriminate between types of psychologists even though the outcomes have been demonstrated to be similarly beneficial. Currently, 70% of practitioners in Australia are only eligible for lower rebates due to a legislative mistake, at the expense of patients who are already under a high degree of stress. AAPi maintains that all psychologists need to be made accessible to all Australians if we are going to be able to break the fall and prevent catastrophic outcomes. We urge the government to increase the Medicare rebate to remove the barrier to long term mental health solutions, including preventative measures with a registered psychologist. We have a mental health workforce, we just need to support them better to do their jobs. Why give the job to someone who has 6 weeks training, when you have registered psychologists with 6 years of training? What Australians need is critical mental health support today and for quite some time to come. We need to provide Australians greater access to help today but equally, we need to invest in the future of the mental health profession. This means immediate access to their choice of psychologist, an immediate increase to the Medicare rebate available for all psychology services, an increase in the number of allowable sessions under a mental health plan and at the same time, tapping into our future mental health professionals to support the current crisis. More information- posted 9.52am AEST Monday 21 September This post was written in response to the proposal to use ‘mental health coaches’ for ‘low intensity’ mental health support for a program called NewAccess, to be funded by the government. The Age reported on this in August: https://www.theage.com.au//push-for-coaches-to-help-reliev The Australian Psychology Society (APS) are supportive of this program. You can read their quotes in the above article. More information on the NewAccess program can be found here: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/newaccess/faqs Clients receive an initial assessment (up to 60 minutes) then up to 5 sessions of up to 30 minutes in length. The advertisements for the mental health coaches made it clear- no experience in mental health was required. To become a Mental Health Coach, the program consists: o Six weeks full-time intensive training o Two weeks onsite clinical supervision post initial training and local shadowing o Ongoing training once a month for five months
