A small check-in with a practical next step.
Ask what kind of support is wanted
Ask whether the person you support wants listening, practical help or ideas. The answer may be different each day. Leave enough space for them to answer without having to reassure you.
Own one practical task
Offer one specific task you can own, including the planning: preparing dinner, arranging transport or sorting a household errand. Check that it is wanted and follow through.
Follow their lead at appointments
When you attend an appointment together, ask what role they want you to take. You might keep notes, remember a question, or simply be there. Keep their choices and privacy at the centre.
