Welcome to another edition of ‘A Day in the Life,’ where we open the door to the unique experiences our dedicated support workers share with our incredible clients. Today, we delve into a day filled with support, understanding, and discovery as we accompanied a client on their therapeutic journey.
Arrival at the Residence
The day begins as our support worker arrives at the client’s residence. Little did we know, the day would unfold into a journey of self-discovery and comfort. Upon clocking in, our support worker, equipped with compassion and understanding, encounters the client in the midst of a panic attack. The cause unknown, the client was visibly agitated, pacing around and stimming in distress.
Navigating the Storm
Efforts to talk through the panic attack initially proved challenging due to the mysterious cause. Attempting redirection and reminiscing about past activities offered a glimmer of relief. The client identified the pressure to make a significant decision as a contributing factor.
A New Adventure Unfolds
After thoughtful consideration, the client expressed a desire to go swimming in a lake or dam. Collaboratively, they decided on a location, a place unfamiliar to the client but promising new experiences.
Lakeside Bliss
Arriving at the swimming area, the client’s excitement mingled with nervousness. Together, they enjoyed the lakeside tranquility, bird-watched, and collected rocks and shells. The simple pleasures of watching children play nearby added to the serenity.
Homeward Bound with a Bakery Stop
As the afternoon unfolded, the pair headed back towards home. Addressing the client’s hunger and thirst, a stop at a local bakery resulted in the purchase of a delightful treat for a well-deserved break.
A Warm Return Home
Returning home, our support worker ensured the client was comfortably settled, helping with their belongings and providing a sense of security. As the day came to a close, our support worker clocked out, concluding a day of therapeutic support, exploration, and shared moments of joy.
In every journey, we discover not only the challenges but also the strength and resilience that lie within. At Just Support, we are committed to creating meaningful experiences that contribute to personal growth and well-being.
