Treatment Goals
To work with clients as part of their own individual systems
Each client operates and functions daily within their own environmental systems. Whether its school, friends, family or work and it is vital to gain insight into how each clients operates and interacts within these to understand their current level of functioning. Therefore treatment must not just work in isolation with the client, but consider who they interact with and communicate with other professionals involved in their care.
Clients at the Core
Providing choice
Each client needs to feel they have a choice about their care and treatment, no matter what their age. Suki will always place the client’s wellbeing and improvement of their quality of life as a key focus of any intervention. We start treatment with a belief that all clients are seeking change in their lives and this is central to improving their sense of autonomy and control.
