CHCCCS023 Support Independence and Wellbeing Proof Reading Service

ACTIVITY 1A

1. The differences that are observed in people:

Social Differences:Social differences are the characteristic differences that tell where a person belongs too. The differences are on the basis of colour, caste, language etc.

Cultural Differences:Cultural differences are meant for people where there are people coming from different cultures. There is no single culture that all them follow.

Spiritual Differences:Spiritual differences arise when there is diversity in the way of living of people and they have clearly beliefs and perspective to the life.

2. A client of me had the following differences:

1. He had a medium toned skin and came from Hindu background. He could converse in Hindi and English both.

2. He followed the Buddhist culture.

3. He believed that there is one omnipresent positive spirit that rules the entire earth.

3. These differences are to be treated indifferently. There should be no extra taxes or relaxations to be given to the clients on the basis of such differences. The treatment in the care is delivered unbiased to its customers. This make the client feel more safe and secure about his secularism. (Lynch, 2002)

ACTIVITY 1B

1. I come from a Christian family. My belief is that there is more to focus on other things rather than following just one religion and the lords mentioned in the holy books. Humanity should be the ultimate thing to be worshipped.

2. I do not force my beliefs on anyone. Keeping my opinion in front of people should not be taken as forcing them upon anyone. There has to be politeness while sharing the ideas with people.

3. It is important to listen to the next person while he is sharing his opinion. Making eye contact while he speaks gives him the strength and comfort to be able to express himself in front of the others and me. There is a need to let the person speak without any interruption and anxiety. (Mind, 2013)

ACTIVITY 1C

While dealing with one of my clients, following was his situation. The person was at his middle ages. He came from a middle class family as well. He was a happily married man and had two children. When everything was going well enough, due to some kind of new scheme in the company he worked in, he lost his job. The man had good strength of mind and body as in this broken situation he managed to deal with the problems of his life. This was a crucial period of life where all he needed was mental health support and the right kind of guidance to come out of the troubles.

ACTIVITY 1D

1. The way a person behaves when he or she is in a public place explains much about how comfortable and confident they are with themselves. One has to be self accepting in terms of his or her individuality and sexuality. If there is any signs like any movement of hands, constant movement of legs or unnecessary sweat on the forehead, it signifies that the person is uncomfortable about something that is probably his or her personality.

2. There is some kind of awkwardness in the room while discussing about sexuality with the clients. This case has becomes worst when it has to be discussed with the opposite gender. Although this awkwardness is genuine as sexuality is a very integral issue of one’s life and it is discomforting to talk about it to anyone else. (Rowlands, and Redshaw, 2012)

3. I would first of all make him comfortable regarding his sexuality. Then he needs a little mind wash that there is no thing like time. We need to accept ourselves and not be afraid to say it to others. And then it is never too late for a new beginning so I will support his decision to confront that to his family.

ACTIVITY 1E

1. The people we choose to hang around with, shows most of our physical needs and or sexuality as well.

2. The strengths of a client in how well he accepts himself and willing he is to say that to the world.

3. Self-care capacity is the ability of a person to take his own care.

4. A client of mine was an independent career oriented person. He had great level of maturity and sense while dealing with the coms of life. He never feared any kind of social awkwardness as well. (Eriksen and Jensen, 2006)

5. He can be given practical proofs about all his strengths without letting him know about it. He can be made to realize the need of the hour in his life and act accordingly.

ACTIVITY 2B

1. The client could be assisted in situations like if they get fired from their jobs. The client needs to know his inner strengths and that he can put his efforts in some alternative profile.

2. It is important to communicate about using the available as it might give the client the required push that can help him to cope with the stress in his life. (Hite, 2000)

ACTIVITY 2C

1. The various services that are available are laughter clubs, self-help centres, financial institutes, rehabilitation centres etc.

2. In this type of situation, there are a few laughter clubs that could be joined to get yourself in a lighter mood and get out of the solitary.

ACTIVITY 2D

1. It is important to let people manage their own service delivery, as no other person would know their problems in a better way than them. Only they know their needs and requirements in the most apt way.

2. One can manage their own service delivery by reflecting upon their needs and requirements. They can find the missing things from their lives and work upon them to get filled.

ACTIVITY 2E

1. For a person to strengthen themselves for independence, it is important that they can are more career oriented and work for a secured job. For a person to be independent it is very important that they stand on their feet financially.

2. I encouraged the client to make himself hired by a settled institution so that he becomes financially independent. In addition, now he only needs the confidence to be able to put forward his opinion in front of many people. (Stern, 2000.)

ACTIVITY 3A

1. A healthy lifestyle involves a residence in a clean environment where there is good quality people in the surroundings. In addition, a balanced diet is included in a healthy lifestyle. The company of family members is also important.

2. One can indulge in a healthy social lifestyle by communicating with more number of people. Maintaining a quality living by eating good quality food and living in healthy and fresh environment. (Humphreys, Goodman, and Ogilvie, 2013)

ACTIVITY 3D

A person, who is in some kind of pain, be it physical or mental cannot behave normally and enjoy in public events. He is more likely to sit alone and tend to keep away from people. This shows that his pain is affecting his wellbeing as well. (Environmental Health, 2017)

ACTIVITY 3E

Once a client was broke financially. He was in a debt trap and was not able to pay the loans he had taken from the banks. His house was auctioned. There were no other sources, which could grant him some money. This was the case where no counselling would have worked. Therefore, I had to recommend his case to the banks and ask for some time relaxation.

ACTIVITY 4A

1. The role plays:

Task 1:

Person B: “Sir, I am financially stricken and no bank is ready to grant me some me. I need to seek solution for this.”

Person A: “Don’t worry my friend. Government has a policy where people who does not have a property to mortgage can also apply to the loans. Tomorrow I will take you to one such bank. Wait for my call.”

Person b: “Thank you, sir.”

Task 2:

Person A: “Hello sir. I need to seek help from you as I have witnessed a theft scene. The thief is now in custody, though. But this has created a fear in me which is going with me everywhere I go.”

Person B: “In my opinion you must join some meditation class in the morning to bring back the lost positivity in tour life. Sometimes spirituality have the answer that we humans do not.

2.It is important to use safe and predictable routines as it gives a sense of security and belonging. There is more quality of life when the things are followed in proper order and schedule. A rightly made routine keeps a person away from different kinds of ailments and diseases. A little time given to physical increases the life expectancy by ten years. (Hira and Mugenda, 2000)

3.The different aspects of a safe and predictable routine includes a balanced diet that includes the right amount of solid and liquid food. There is time taken out for workout and after dinner walks. The right time for sleep at night and a short nap in the daytime. In addition, there has to be time taken out for social meetings and inclusive relationships in the community.

ACTIVITY 4C

1. There are some integral benefits of social interaction. They include a sense of safety and security that one feels if living in a place away from his hometown. In addition, interacting with people gives mental relaxation and comfort as you can share your troubles and anxieties and get solutions for them.

2. I encourage my clients to attend the meetings of their society and the other workshops being held in the nearby areas. One must indulge himself in daily morning workout in a gym or in fresh air, which could be another way they can get to meet more people.

3. I can encourage my clients to participate the cultural events and the festivals that are celebrated with large number of gathering. In addition, they can join yoga or meditation classes, which could bring them closer to spirituality. (WHO, 2017)

ACTIVITY 4D

1. Three aspects of supporting a client’s wellbeing that would be outside the scope of my knowledge:

Financial crises like bank debts.

Lunatic ailments in people.

Diseases that have no treatment.

2. In the above mentioned, the situations that could not be acquired by me, I definitely won’t let the client be on his own. I would seek help from the government that could help my client in whatever way that is possible. Somehow, it is always possible to find solutions no matter how big the problem is.

ACTIVITY 4E

1. A person’s state of wellbeing could be altered due to changes in his surroundings. There can be family tensions, mental and physical stress, failure in academics or career, monetary shortcomings, ailment or diseases in the body, loss of a close person etc. All such problems brings variations in the wellbeing of a person. When this happens, there are certain drastic changes in the daily routine and lifestyle of the person. (Furlong and Cartmel, 2006)

2. To identify such variations in a person, I will have to keep a close watch over my client who is a suspect to these variations. Taking into account all the slight changes in his routine would ultimately lead to the finding of the variation in his life. It could then be reported to the concerned institute that could be of help to my client.

ACTIVITY 4F

4. People of his own culture are not ready to accept him.

2. The financial issues that can affect the wellbeing of my client are:

1. Banks are not ready to give credit to the client.

2. Banks seizing the mortgaged property to recover their loans.

3. A debt trap from different banks.

4. Not able to meet the daily needs of his family due to less income.

3. The above-mentioned problems caused due to financial issues could be sorted by taking advice from some senior expert in the banking sector. If that does not work, we can take help from the government agencies that are meant to help the people facing monetary issues.

b. Bad company of friends.

c. Failure in career.

ACTIVITY 4H

1. A person who has been facing abuse and neglect is found afraid most of the time. He or she is not able to behave normally to others like they used to when not all this was happening. Now they behave differently and prefers to stay in isolation.

2. If such signs are identified then it becomes important to report it to the family members of the victim and the nearby police station.

3. If any of the above signs were found in any of my client then I would rather take this matter personally. I would talk to his or her family and get into the depth of the matter. Whoever is responsible for this abuse or neglect must be punished. The punishment of the culprit gives security to the victim.

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGS ACTIVITY

The three people that were supported by me:

Andrew:He was a middle-aged boy who was not much welcomed at the new society he took a flat in. and that is why he started to behave differently. I asked him to only give time to the new people to accept him. Soon there would be no trouble for them to accept and respect your identity. (Glasson, Therivel and Chadwick, 2013)

Maria:This girl reported to me that she has been stalked by some unknown boy since the last fifteen days. Now it has become intolerable and she fears to make a complaint to the police. I explained the latest laws that have been made to safeguard the rights of women in the country. The next we went to the nearby police station.

Krish:He is a young boy who has become a drug addict. He said he wants to come out from all this but is not able to. I took him to the best rehab centre and explained his case to the specialist there. He suggested him to stay there for twenty days and after that, he would be back to normal.

9. I helped a client who was good at cooking to join a self-help organization where he was given the resources to display his talent and then paid accordingly for his work.

10. For anyone to be independent, it is important that thy have a substantial income and a secured job. So that at least financially he is not dependent over anybody.
