Supporting well-being

Supporting people to improve their well-being is a key part of the Social Care Wales Code of Professional Practice.

It’s also important that we look after our own well-being, you can do this by looking at some helpful health and well-being resources. 
 

A 'what matters' conversation is a targeted conversation relating to any assessment process. It refers to a skilled way of working with individuals to establish the situation, their current well-being, what can be done to support them and what can be done to promote their well-being and resilience for the better.

It's not an assessment in itself; it's a way of carrying out the assessment to help the individual identify:
•    how they want to live their life
•    what might be preventing that
•    what support might be required to overcome those barriers.

Strengths-based practice is a way of working where we explore, in a collaborative way, someone's strengths, abilities and their circumstances, rather than focusing on what they can't do.
