1. There are many things that influence our overall health and wellbeing. It is important to remember that the people you provide support to are just like you; complex beings with various components to their life.
Wellbeing can be thought of as a puzzle with each piece representing a different area of the person’s life. Whilst some things that influence our wellbeing are outside of our control (e.g. developing a chronic illness), we can take steps to influence how our wellness is affected (e.g. speak to a psychologist about our illness).
Physical health significantly influences our wellness. If you were working as a community mental health support worker, what are three (3) strategies you would consider for supporting a service user to improve their overall physical health?
