5. Focus – Getting and keeping inclusion

A comprehensive, inclusion-focused assessment will identify the preferred lifestyle of the person, as reflected in ESCs 5–9. It will also go some way towards identifying the person’s inclusion history – perhaps of unsuccessful attempts to engage in educational, work-related or leisure activities. Acknowledging the feelings that attach to these experiences and finding the courage to try again is a key part of the journey of recovery.

Sometimes it is helpful to draw out the lessons that can be learnt from unsatisfactory experiences with community organisations.
