So True.. We face this all through our life both in Professional and Personal..

I could not agree more with the sentiments of this graphic! Whilst the post below focusses on the importance of therapy inparticular, when thinking about the health, safety and wellbeing of the adults that we support in statutory #adultsocialcare , the message is the same; #prevention is key! Rather than doing crisis-led, reactive interventions that often only seek to resolve the immediate presenting problem, and doing 'sticking plaster' work, we should be taking a holistic view of the person's whole life and circumstances and that of their family network too. Yes, services are all pushed out with not enough resource and too much demand, but it's an obvious invest-to-save in the long run! Taking the time to complete interventions, assessments and support planning in a fully #personcentred way and actively listening to the individual's outcomes and what they need to truly get to the root of the issue, will ensure that services not only reap the reward of the individual no longer going round and round the revolving door but, most importantly, a REAL difference is made in the person's life and will go some way to helping to improve long-term outcomes in a sustainable way!!

Agreed! And thanks Joss for this reminder! The wisdom of taking time to invest in ‘Problem Definition’ is so succinctly described and illustrated. Consider how short-sighted, careless, even negligent, it is to go straight in and just address the manifestations of what is likely to be a more fundamental upstream problem. What a difference it would make to lives if we, by default, always took the time to identify and then repair ‘the holes in the bridge’. Consider how much public money might be redirected if we stemmed the need for those downstream interventions, which, to state the obvious, will never reduce until we tackle the upstream causes. Vision and leadership is needed to both carve out the time/resources to properly define the problem and to resist the pressure for immediate solutions. Makes sense to me!

Read and remember these words and it will help you remember who we are and what we mean!
