A Deeper NDIS Program for Long-Term Change
A Structured, Supported Journey to Mental Health, Independence & Life Confidence
At Sheltered by Grace, we understand that healing and growth take time. We proudly offer the Wellness Foundations, an NDIS program, evidence-informed six-week program designed to support adults with psychosocial disabilities and life instability. If you or your loved one requires more than short-term support, this extended, carefully structured program focuses on developing life skills, mental wellness, and community connection—all within a safe and supportive environment.
This is more than just a stay. It’s a trauma-informed, psychosocial rehabilitation experience that nurtures independence, confidence, and stability through evidence-based group work, community access, mentoring, and the development of life skills.
Every week is carefully designed to help participants move closer to achieving meaningful, long-term recovery.

Outcomes That Make a Difference
Structure + Support = Lasting Change
The Wellness Foundation Program is one of our most comprehensive NDIS programs for psychosocial support. It creates a safe and familiar rhythm where participants can stabilize emotionally and mentally while learning real-world skills that foster long-term success.
Participants leave with:
- Greater self-management and coping skills
- Improved routines and home living capabilities
- Reduced anxiety and emotional escalation
- Connection with peers and support networks
Participants are not just monitored — they’re mentored. We create a therapeutic alliance that fosters trust, transparency, and incremental growth.
A Pathway, Not a Pause
Designed for Stability, Confidence & Growth
Wellness Foundations transcends typical NDIS-funded activities, offering a live-in environment rich in therapeutic care and practical learning. Participants don’t just talk about change—they experience it daily through structured challenges, decision-making, and founded successes.
Expect gradual but consistent progress in both mindset and ability. Participants leave with better sleep, healthier habits, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of community belonging. For many, this stability becomes the foundation for pursuing further independence or higher-support pathways.
Participants leave with:
- Greater self-management and coping skillset
- Teams of personal support—both peer and professional
- Safer, more stable routines and home life
- Reduced anxiety and crisis moments
- Renewed social confidence and community curiosity
