Sarah recognizes the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between individuals and their families. She has formed trusting relationships with the family members, facilitates regular contact between them and the clients, and keeps everyone up to date.
One of Sarah’s individuals had a brother who passed away, and Sarah accompanied her to the funeral. The client’s mother had also started cancer treatments, and the funeral was the first time they had seen each other since. Sarah assisted with reassurance and emotional support as the individual processed the many emotions she faced in that difficult time.
In the weeks following the funeral, Sarah continued to provide comfort. She made sure the individual stayed busy and got out of the house even when she did not feel like it. They went to the park and on many walks, preventing the client from becoming depressed or losing any progress she had made. Her relationship with Sarah helped her navigate the grieving process in a healthy manner.
Thank you, Sarah. By seeing the possibilities and demonstrating a positive Attitude, you effectively guided your client through a challenging situation. Your emphasis on strong relationships helps those you support live their best lives.
WORK SMART. DO GOOD.
