MY SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK

Our programs are designed to support better psychosocial health, community participation, and/or work outcomes.

We bring the world to you so that your best tomorrow can begin today!

Struggling with Workplace Injury Recovery?

Have you or are you becoming isolated due to injury or illness?
Are your close relationships falling apart?
Are you worried about what your future looks like and would you like support to work it out?

We will help rebuild your confidence, help you set goals for your future, and work with you to recover from injury and illness to get your life back on track.

At My Social Support Network (MSSN), we understand the difficulties you may be encountering on your journey to recovery. A workplace injury can disrupt not only your physical well-being but also your emotional and social connections, leaving you feeling isolated and overwhelmed. However, you don’t have to face this alone.

We have specialised services tailored to your unique needs, aimed at empowering you to regain control of your life.

OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

We focus on social recovery, re-connection, and return to work. The goal is to connect and support people who are isolated due to location, workplace injury, illness, or disability. We are designed to build the capacity of members in ways that are innovative, engaging, and foster independence. In this way, the quality of life of our members is improved.

My Social Support Network rehabilitation programs interact online, progressing to groups to improve normalised interaction and psychosocial function in terms of positive social behaviour that can lead to community connection, volunteering, job seeking behaviour and sustainable employment.

We help our members in their journey to recover and have better health and work outcomes.

“I can sleep now; I can finally breathe…I’ve learnt to breathe in the classes, and you know I think it’s because I got a job. I finally sleep all night. I haven’t been able to sleep through a whole night since the accident.”

"Uplifting! Caroline sets the tone for each session, she is always so positive nice to be around… rubs off on everyone… even if we have a difficult situation or in a negative mood, she can put a positive spin on it…. Good at bringing people out of a negative mindset.”

"You get self-worth, self-confidence, and see yourself in a different light. You realise you are not alone and it's okay to feel the way you feel. It becomes the highlight of your week...It would benefit anyone who is struggling in life. It feels like a family.”

"These sessions are a break, a time-out from reality. I know that for an hour I might laugh or not but I am listening to other people and not thinking about my situation. It gives me a break and I look forward to it. The other day I couldn’t go but I was able to hook it up on the car as I wanted to be involved. The format allows me to do that and I was glad I could.”

"Life-changing! I used to be in a really dark place. The group has given me hope. People listen. I don’t feel alone anymore. I realised that there are other people on a similar journey. I used to feel isolated. I used to be really active and suddenly I wasn’t able to be. Injuries aren’t always visible. When we get together, we don’t feel worthless. You feel listened to. You feel important.”

“The team is my shining light, they are amazing...I wonder and will always wonder (I tell my case manager all the time) how can people I don’t know do so much for me?”
