For support coordinators and plan managers

Who this service works well for

The Kind Mind Collective supports adults who need therapeutic input linked to emotional regulation, coping, burnout, distress tolerance, identity-related stress, and daily functioning. The work suits participants who need more than a checkbox skills service and who benefit from a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approach.

• Participants with autistic burnout, ADHD overwhelm, shutdown, or chronic stress
• Participants needing support with routines, boundaries, emotional recovery, communication, or functioning
• Participants who need support linked to plan goals around independence, emotional wellbeing, and participation
• Participants who have not felt understood by more generic services

Funding fit

This service is appropriate for self-managed and plan-managed participants where the funding and goals align. It is not available for agency-managed participants.

The work is usually framed around capacity building and therapeutic support connected to emotional regulation, coping skills, and daily functioning.

What makes the service useful for your participants

• Sessions are adapted to communication style, sensory needs, and energy levels
• Therapy is practical, not generic
• Goals can be written in human language, not empty NDIS jargon
• Broady can collaborate with support teams where appropriate
• Clinical documentation is available for existing clients within scope

Documentation and collaboration

For existing clients, The Kind Mind can provide support letters, progress reports, and case conferencing where clinically appropriate. This is useful for plan reviews, progress tracking, and coordination across the participant’s team.

We also share occasional examples of coordinated practice that make support easier for participants and teams. Read our provider highlight on Alicia Sheppard from Navigator In Reach.

• The participant needs therapeutic support, not just generic mentoring
• The participant’s goals relate to regulation, coping, functioning, or participation
• The participant would benefit from an affirming practitioner who understands neurodivergence and LGBTIQA+ identity without making it the client’s job to explain
