The importance of transparent collaboration with all members of the participants’ team
Collaboration is when the true magic happens.
It is a rewarding way of working and delivering services, no matter your role or discipline of practice.
This is the best approach to all services and supports for participants.
Collaboration ensures the participants’ team is all on the same page. They can then have a better understanding and insight into each member of the team’s role and what aspects they are currently assisting the participant with. Allowing other care team members an opportunity to adapt, modify, reflect and create better supports that are all interlinked. Supporting the participant to progress and achieve their plan goals cohesively.
The team works better, and the participant relishes a collaborative space. They feel valued and supported and seen as a person first.
Who doesn’t want to feel valued and seen for who they are as a unique human, living a life, having thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires and being driven by self-determination?
