  Management of clients,private or funded,care planning,risk assessing and teaching staffWe cannot truly help our patients without learning who they are as people and not as the problem they are presenting with .We cannot support our staff without a knowledge of them as people and what their strengths and weaknesses are ,by knowing we can guide and mentor ,often learning from them in their care journey .Teaching includes exploring boundaries of care and ourselves , if our expectations and goals in our own lives are to be met . Support is about trust without that we easily fail .Listening is a powerful tool without it we are not excelling in the aim to care .Caring is a beautiful and at times sad act but humility is gained by helping others whatever their problem is .
