Example
How serious is it
It is sometimes hard to feel clear about how severe a person’s condition is. Professionals do not share this explicitly as they worry that they might share more than the patient can currently cope with. This tool can be used to help carers get the answers they want to hear, but can also make sure they don’t hear them before they are ready.
I don’t feel heard
Carers can use this tool when they don’t feel a professional is listening to them.
Making the most out of time with professionals
Carers can use this tool when having a conversation with professionals. Sometimes we need to know what we are allowed to ask, and what we can ask, to get the answers we need.
TOOLS FOR COACHES
