Active participation recognizes the right of children and young people to participate in activities and tasks of everyday life as independently as possible.
Active participation
By doing this, the individual is an active partner in their own care and support, rather than receiving the care and support that other people believe they want and need.
How does this happen?
The individual is encouraged and taught about ways in which they could help themselves to develop, to be healthier or to recover from illness
Encourage an individual to be involved in planning their care and support needs.
Examples of active participation
Observe potential barriers and use other resources to help, for example a physiotherapist if mobility declines, a speech therapist if they struggles to speak effectively.
Helping an avid reader to "read" again by using audio books if their sight has impaired their ability to read.
The use of symbols or pictures to aid communication and allow them to voice choices and questions.
Find appropriate equipment if necessary to facilitate undertaking tasks such as personal care or preparing meals more independently.
Easy access to phone and contact information so they can stay in touch with friends and family.

What is a growth mindset (Growth Mindset)?
A growth mindset is the belief that you are in control of your own ability, and can learn and improve. A growth mindset is the idea that intelligence, abilities and skills can be developed if an individual invests enough effort and studies enough.
They see effort as a way to improve their abilities.
Individuals with a growth mindset see failure as a natural part of the learning process and therefore children who believe that the brain can grow, do better at school as they focus on improving
Having a growth mindset is very useful for education and study but it can be beneficial in all aspects of life as it helps to cope with challenges and problems that arise.

What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to the present, using techniques such as meditation, breathing and yoga.
Mindfulness has the potential to help individuals feel more positive and empowered by reducing things like self-destructive thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness helps with many conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors such as alcohol or substance abuse and gambling. It has also been shown to help with physical problems such as hypertension, heart disease and chronic pain.
It helps individuals to become more aware of their feelings and thoughts, so rather than being overwhelmed by them, they will be able to manage them better.
