Problem on adult life in a disability support centre


Problem: Phillip has spent most of his adult life in a disability support centre. He is now 40, and it has been decided that Phillip has the potential to live on his own. He has been set up in a flat with limited support. Phillip has gone from having 24-hour support to just a 1-hour visit fortnightly by a support person to assist with budgeting. Initially, Phillip was frightened and had become sad. He stopped going out. The only friends he knew were in the centre, and he had lost them. Phillip doesn't communicate easily; he doesn't know what he wants, has been diagnosed with a mental illness and needs to access mental health support. He has been meeting with the local disability support worker who is based in Phillip's suburb. They now meet weekly to talk and have developed a strong relationship. Gradually, the worker has drawn in people to support Phillip to achieve his goals to own his own home, gain employment, become a DJ and be involved in the local football club. The worker has linked Phillip to different people that can support his various interests. One is a mentor from the local church. Phillip has met a few men his age and identified the person he feels most comfortable with. The mentor is a similar age, and they have started going out together. They now go to the pub regularly, have a meal and play pool. Phillip attended a modified DJ course through a local learning centre has completed the course and presented with a certificate. He was then linked with a DJ mentor for? Need Assignment Help?
