What is a primary focus of a Support Broker in handling a client’s needs?

A primary focus of a Support Broker is to concentrate on the client’s unique needs and preferences. This involves understanding the specific circumstances of each individual and tailoring support to enhance their quality of life. By prioritizing the unique aspects of a client's situation, such as their personal goals, preferences, and challenges, a Support Broker can effectively advocate for services and resources that align with what the client truly values.

In doing so, the Support Broker helps ensure that the services and supports provided are not just available, but genuinely suited to the individual. This personalized approach fosters empowerment and autonomy, enabling clients to fully engage with their resources in a way that is meaningful to them.

While having access to a range of services is important, it is essential that these services align with the person’s specific needs rather than being a one-size-fits-all solution. This differentiation underscores the importance of the Support Broker's role in putting the client's unique perspective at the forefront of any planning or action taken.
