Achievements & Success Stories:
I have been having a lot of success with supporting participants and their care teams to focus on their strengths, so that they can grow in that space with confidence and with a more person-centred outlook.
Success story:
I have been fortunate to be a part of some really wonderful participants' lives. I have been able to support participants to advocate for themselves, build on their strengths and find and maintain their independence in ways that are meaningful to them and their wider support network, by listening, and showing care and empathy.
