Course Overview

This module is part of a series of four looking at supporting and promoting independence. In this module, we look at the way that social, emotional and psychological well-being affect the way the people prefer to receive care. Emotional and psychological well-being are important aspects of a person’s holistic care and have a direct impact on their well-being and resilience.

This module is about choosing to positively support the client in ways that improve or maintain social, emotional and psychological well-being and meets the strengthened Quality Standards and National Standards for Disability Services.
