Psychosocial Support Service
EMPHN is supporting people living with mental illness in our community to access the NDIS.
While EMPHN’s Psychosocial Support Servicesupports participants living with psychosocial disability that is episodic in nature and not permanent, if ongoing support is needed Neami will support a participant’s access to the NDIS.
