How does a Support Broker enhance client independence?

A Support Broker enhances client independence primarily by establishing a supportive network and resources. This approach empowers clients to take an active role in their own lives rather than relying on others to make decisions for them or control their daily activities. By facilitating connections to community resources, support groups, and relevant services, the Support Broker helps clients gain the tools and confidence they need to navigate their own lives more effectively.

This network can include everything from educational opportunities to social services, making it easier for clients to access the help they need without unnecessary barriers. By being well-informed about available resources, the Support Broker ensures that clients can make choices that reflect their personal goals and desires. This enhanced access to support not only increases client independence but also fosters empowerment, allowing individuals to make informed decisions and advocate for themselves in various aspects of life.
