Wellness Foundations Program: 6-Week Empowerment & Skills Pathway

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.

This is more than just a list of NDIS-funded activities; it’s a comprehensive support structure.

  • Dedicated 1:1 Case Management: Fortnightly sessions to navigate your NDIS plan, set meaningful goals, and ensure your journey is tailored to you.

Who Is This Program For?

Wellness Foundations welcomes individuals aged 18+ who are ready to commit to six weeks of meaningful progression. It’s designed for participants with psychosocial or cognitive support needs—whether they're transitioning out of acute mental health care, leaving homelessness or crisis situations, or recovering from trauma.

Families, carers, and coordinators often choose this path when short-term support isn't enough. If daily routines are inconsistent or life feels unpredictable, Wellness Foundations provides a tailored structure with built-in flexibility and ongoing mentorship. Participants who join are typically eager for a safe, nurturing environment in which they can rebuild trust in themselves and others.

Program Fit:

  • Adults with psychosocial disabilities or mental‑health related supports
  • Individuals who have struggled in unstructured or fragmented support models
  • Those aiming to build coping strategies, daily habits, and community skills
  • Carers and support coordinators seeking consistent NDIS programs of support

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

Frequently asked questions

What is the Wellness Foundation Program?

The Wellness Foundation Program is a comprehensive six-week empowerment and skills pathway designed for NDIS participants aged 18+ with psychosocial disabilities or life instability. It focuses on mental health, independence, and life confidence through structured support and skill-building.

Can carers be involved in the program?

Yes, absolutely. We value the role of carers and welcome their involvement. Carers are invited to be part of the participant’s intake process, goal-setting discussions, and receive weekly progress updates throughout the 6-week program. We believe in working together—carers, participants, and our team—to ensure the best possible outcomes.

How is the Wellness Foundation Program funded?

The Wellness Foundation Program is fully NDIS-claimable for plan-managed and self-managed participants. It is funded using a combination of Core Supports and Capacity Building supports. Upon enquiry, we provide a detailed quote with NDIS item numbers and a breakdown that aligns with your participant’s NDIS funding package.

What if a participant needs more than 6 weeks?

We understand that healing and growth take time. If a participant needs extended support, we offer a seamless pathway into our 12-week Empower & Connect program. This extended program builds on the foundations established during the first six weeks, with deeper work in trauma recovery, communication, and confidence-building.

What happens after the 6 weeks?

Participants often experience improved routines, stronger coping strategies, greater self-confidence, and reduced dependence on external supports. Our goal is to help individuals transition to stable, independent living by developing essential life skills in a supportive, NDIS environment.
