If you're trying to be supportive, here are some suggestions:
1. Don't mess with a prescribed diet (no "treats" that they're not supposed to have)
2. Offer to go to appointments
3. Run errands (dry cleaners, grocery store, pharmacy, library)
4. Babysit
5. Provide a meal (or invite the rest of the family to eat if one member is in the hospital)
6. Drive the kids places
7. Be willing to listen without one-upping
8. Pray for or with the individual
9. Keep in contact
10. Respect the person's wishes
Active support involves empowering individuals to make choices and participate in decision-making. To place their preferences and best interests at the center, it's crucial to involve individuals in setting goals, seeking their input, and respecting their choices. This can be achieved through person-centered planning, regular communication, and ongoing feedback to ensure their needs and desires are understood and met.
