Resource Aims

The main aim of this Consultancy Resource is to demonstrate indicators of culture change where practitioners shift from:

• Treating the condition to supporting the person to take control and live their life
• Being the expert to valuing the person as the expert in their life
• Instructing and advising the person to collaborating, sharing skills and building mutually empathic and empowering relationships with the person

The Resource also aims to:

• Introduce the Supported Self Management agenda to statutory and voluntary sector agencies and individual practitioners primarily.
• Increase the number of trained practitioners who include person centred self management support in all their interactions with the people they support.
• Support the development of a learning community where practitioners cascade and share their learning within and beyond their own fields of work.
