What and Why of Reablement

Welcome to this bitesize professional development session, a part of the Stepping Back from Stepping In series.

Scroll down for more information.

The aim of this session is to enhance the understanding of the participants as to why a wellness and reablement approach increases the opportunity for clients to regain or maintain abilities, thereby improving their prospects of staying as independent as possible for longer. Through discussion of case studies, participants will increase their understanding of the important role they have in providing these opportunities.
