Case Study 2

Overview

 

Female client arrived at Hassocks Road via Crisis Pathway.
Initially perceived everything to be difficult and confusing: did not want to engage with anyone at Hassocks Road. Staff’s gentle persistence and encouragement enabled her to try things she seemed to be anxious about previously:

  • She was able to use her mobile phone successfully to call her mum and sister
  • With staff support and direction, she was able to start engaging in her personal care and washing her clothes
  • With staff support, she went on to do these things independently

She was anxious about choices relating to eating: worried about failure and lacked skills to prepare meals/snacks independently.
This affected her medication regime.

  • With the support and encouragement of Hassocks Road staff, she was able to become less dependent and anxious about life and perception of her abilities
  • Staff supported her to use written prompts and practiced with her to the point where she was able to prepare meals and snacks independently after a week and on leaving the service

This positive pattern of regular eating contributed to an:

  • increase in her mood and sleeping habits.
  • She was able to engage in group and communal activities that she was not initially.
