Mental Health Training for NDIS Workers

This course gives NDIS support workers a clear, practical understanding of mental health — with a specific focus on borderline personality disorder (BPD) and how to respond to participants experiencing emotional distress or crisis. Delivered by a practising clinical psychologist, the course moves from foundational concepts (the biopsychosocial model, common mental health diagnoses) through to skills you can use on shift: reading behaviour as communication, recognising escalating risk, using validation and active listening, and holding professional boundaries without burning out.

Self-paced video course, additional resources, 9 modules.

  • Delivered by a practising clinical psychologist.
  • Built specifically for NDIS and disability support workers.
  • Practical, not just theoretical: every concept is tied to a real behaviour staff will see on shift and a specific response.
  • A worked case study ("Sarah") lets learners apply concepts before facing them in real life.
  • Nine short, modular chapters (roughly 2–10 minutes each) so staff can complete it around shifts, or revisit a single module when they need a refresher.
  • Captioned throughout for accessibility.
  • Gives workers a clear framework — reducing risk and burnout.

Can't wait to see you inside.
