Made in partnership with Positive Support For You CIC, Northumberland.
Discover how Paul has transformed his life since leaving long-stay hospital care, gaining greater independence, making his own choices and enjoying activities that matter to him.
Paul previously experienced significant anxiety and distress, often withdrawing from everyday activities and interactions. With dedicated, person-centred support from Positive Support For You CIC, he now lives in his own home, makes decisions about his daily routines and enjoys a much more active and fulfilling life.
In this inspiring story, Paul's support team explain how Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) has helped them understand his individual needs, reduce anxiety and develop approaches that build confidence and independence.
Multi Me plays an important role in making these strategies accessible and consistent. Through personalised Wikis, photos and videos, staff can share practical guidance, demonstrate successful approaches and help new team members understand exactly how Paul prefers to be supported.
We also see how Paul has rediscovered his enjoyment of swimming, with his support team finding an environment where he feels comfortable and confident. Through Multi Me, these achievements can be recorded, celebrated and shared with his family, helping everyone recognise the progress he has made.
Paul's story demonstrates how the right support, combined with person-centred technology, can help people overcome barriers, develop independence and enjoy greater choice and control over their everyday lives.
