What is capacity building?

This is language used in NDIS plans to provide support to individuals with a cognitive disability, complex mental health diagnoses and/or a physical disability. This support focuses on building existing skills and developing additional skills to promote and/or maintain independence.

​

Capacity building support focuses on the daily physical and emotional 'function' of  the participant, but also their family and support system's capacity to promote wellbeing and goal achievement for the individual. Our lives are made up of interconnecting systems, without the support of the systems around us our day to day existence can be unnecessarily challenging. This is the area a Social Worker can support you in as part of your allied health team. At MCC we have extensive experience working with people who are deemed 'vulnerable' because the systems around them are not providing the supports that are needed to promote a full and positive quality of life. 

 

Here at MCC we recognise the importance of the individual but also the people around the individual such as family, friends, community and formal support. Who are integral in supporting goal achievement and promoting and maintaining a positive quality of life.

 

Together we would explore the various domains that make up day to day interactions and the strengths that already exist and building on these strengths. To work towards independence and genuine choice and control.
