Kinora launches mental health and living channels to connect you to experts

You may have a favourite channel you flick to whenever you watch TV or YouTube. Similarly, there are channels in Kinora, My Plan Manager’s community of solutions, where you can get information and insights from experts in the disability space – fast!

This month, Kinora is launching two new pop-up channels – Explore Mental Health Services and The Right Living Options for You. These channels are direct lines to experts who understand the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and specialise in mental health and living options, and they’re available to answer your questions.

Why these channels may be important for you

Providers are a vital part of your support network and can hold a wealth of knowledge. The problem is, finding the right providers or asking them questions can often be difficult without an appointment or waiting in a queue. This is where Kinora’s two new channels come in.

Explore Mental Health Services (1-31 October)

Get your burning questions about mental health services answered. Questions like:

  • What mental health services can I access?
  • If I have a mental health condition or a psychosocial disability, how could a recovery coach help me coordinate supports for better NDIS outcomes?

Recovery coaches are trained professionals who work with clients to:

  • Understand their needs
  • Build a broader network of supports
  • Maximise their NDIS plans
  • Recommend tools to assist people to thrive in social situations and live independently.

Kinora has partnered with Recovery Plus Support to run the Explore Mental Health Services channel throughout October. Chat with their coaches from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday – they can’t wait to hear from you!

To connect to a coach:

  • Log in to Kinora
  • Click on Explore Mental Health Services at the top of the page
  • Click on ‘Start topic’ in the top right hand corner and add a question

You can also reply or comment on a topic that’s already there.

The Right Living Options for You (1 October-30 November)

Through this pop-up channel you can explore Individualised Living Options (ILO), a relatively new package of supports that lets you choose where and how you live in the way that suits you.

Kinora has partnered with Hireup, Australia’s largest NDIS registered online platform, to run the channel throughout October and November. You can ask Hireup team members questions like:

  • How can I use my NDIS plan budget to live the way I want to?
  • Where do I get started with ILO?

Hireup believes in communities, which can break isolation, build connection and explore new ideas. Their team can help you explore independence, connections and new horizons in living.

To connect to a coach:

  • Log in to Kinora
  • Click on The Right Living Options for You at the top of the page
  • Click ‘Start topic’ in the top right hand corner and add a question

You can also reply or comment on a topic that’s already there.

Hireup’s team members will be available to respond to your questions from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Be quick – these channels are here for a limited time!

Live webinar: The NDIS and your living options – Tuesday 18 October | 12pm AEST

If you want to use your NDIS plan budget to live where, and in the way, you want, join Kinora for this virtual event that will unpack ILO and answer questions like:

  • What individualised living supports are available in the NDIS, and what are my options?
  • Does my NDIS plan budget cover them?
  • What can I expect when exploring ILO and where do I get started?

The free virtual event will be brought to you by Kinora, Hireup and My Plan Manager.

To join, click here and register.

Explore mental health services as part of your NDIS plan - Tuesday 25 October | 1-2pm AEST

If you have a mental health condition or a psychosocial disability, mental health supports may not be part of your NDIS plan, but your NDIS budget may still be used for meaningful and practical supports to assist you to live a better life.

Kinora will host a live Q&A session with Recovery Plus Support to tackle this topic.

The virtual event is free of charge. To join, log on to Kinora, click this link and post your question.
