W HAT WAS DIFFERENT Reset from zero whilst remembering what didn’t work last time. Service Co-ordinator took lead in facilitating and coordinating. Cheer leading. Kept people involved Held hope Didn’t panic Let client be the expert of his issues. Kept meeting together – intentionally with outcomes and plans Identifying key roles All people flexed their role to meet needs together People became generous with skills and resources. Didn’t give up when things got too hard Client expressed he felt love and respect. Hope for the future.. Became present in discussions about his future needs, Contributed as a partner. Focussed on solutions not problems
“B EING OPTIMISTIC IS NOT ABOUT PASSIVELY HOPING THINGS WILL GET BETTER ; BUT HAVING THE FAITH IN THE CAPABILITY OF FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS , TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER REGARDLESS OF HOW BAD THE SITUATION IS ; THAT WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN OTHERS , NOT FEELING DESPAIR NOR SIMPLY IGNORE ”
