We Provide The
Support You Need
Supporting your mental well-being through connection and understanding
Where Your Healing Begins
Why Choose Us?
Connection and relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We see, hear, and value you with no judgement and offer strength and belief in you and your healing journey.
We know “what happened to you?” is a much more powerful way of understanding distress and advancing healing than “what is wrong with you?” We understand that abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in response to abnormal events is a normal human experience.
Why We Are Different
ARC a 100% lived experience organisation and provides a range of NDIS supports, including Recovery Coaching, Peer Support and Counselling. We offer human connection and understanding to support the way you heal from mental and emotional distress.
Each person’s recovery journey is unique. We offer belief in your ability to heal because we ourselves have experienced the power of recovering through someone else’s belief in us. We work with you to make sense of your experiences, identify what you want to achieve and take steps towards this together.
What You Can Expect
You deserve the best support from your team – the kind of connection where they listen and take the time to understand your story as well as your hopes, dreams and aspirations. We’re here to offer you precisely that. Your first visit begins with us getting to know you, what your interests are and what you need to feel safe.
We’ll walk this journey together, sharing experiences, celebrating achievements, overcoming hurdles and moving forward on your healing journey.

Aspire Recovery Connection acknowledges Aboriginal people as the first Australians, traditional owners of South Australia, and respect their ongoing living and spiritual relationship with the land and sea. We respect and celebrate the many Aboriginal peoples and lands across the state.
We also acknowledge that past government policies contributed to the marginalisation, disempowerment, breakdown of connection to country, removal of Aboriginal children from their family, loss of land and income, and loss of culture and language of Aboriginal South Australians.
