For a supportive relationship to be effective, it requires the professional to respect who the individual is and their beliefs, culture, lifestyle and choices in life. When a professional shows interest and respect in the individual’s culture and beliefs, then the individual feels more trusting and more comfortable around the professional. It is important that a professional provides the necessities in order to support the individual’s beliefs (e.g. if an elderly person from a residential care home was vegetarian, then the professional must assure that a vegetarian meal is served to the person). Often in residential care homes, some residents do not wish to be treated by a worker of the opposite sex, this means that the professional

The concept of what is in the best interest of a person may be new or difficult to appreciate and operationalize. There will be occasions when the decision-maker might be faced with strong opposition from other members of the family whose interests may not be aligned. When multiple clients are involved, the same question arises: who is the primary client, and therein, whose goals should be identified, clarified, and pursued? This question is especially poignant when differing goals appear to conflict, as in some cases. There is a need to know whether it is the client’s best interests or her rights and freedoms that ought to be given greater weight and so which ought to act as a constraint on the other (Herissone-Kelly, 2010). And even when a primary client can be identified, an important consideration is whether the client’s desired decision can be considered when she is mentally ill and who should be socially responsible for such decision?

In addition, he has completed his high school diploma. Mr. S is also good at maintaining and looking after his room at the booth, as evidenced by the recounts of the case manager’s room visit.

In addition, he has good personal hygiene during his visits. Mr. S also has a number of deficits he has to combat. First of the deficits, include his ¬¬lack of social support; like previously mentioned about his parents, half-sister or half-brother. This can put Mr. S at risk for redevelopment of avolition and negative symptoms that have previously hindered his success, and will become deficits. Another deficit is his inability to manage his own finances and money, as he gets his welfare allowance every week from his case manager, and social worker, who also manages his finances.
