REFLECTION
Before we begin...
Take a moment to reflect on your experience:
Think of a person who was difficult to engage in care.What behaviours did you observe—and how did you interpret them at the time?
Could there have been a different explanation for these behaviours (e.g. trauma, fear, withdrawal)?
Recall a moment when you felt unsure about the "right" decision. What values were in tension—and how did you decide?
There are no simple answers to these questions. They reflect the reality of working with people whose needs are complex, interconnected, and often shaped by trauma and instability.
CONSIDER
As you move into this module, keep this in mind: effective care in complex situations is not only about what you do, but also about how you understand what is happening.
