Person-centred thinking tools can help you to look at what has happened in your life, to make realistic and achievable plans, and to get the right support. These tools will not be able to control your multiple sclerosis (MS), but they can help you regain control over its place in your life.
Think about your life is a set of person-centred thinking tools aimed at supporting people to be reflective and think about their life clearly. The tools can help if you are feeling unbalanced or stuck and they are used to help people to take charge of their lives at a time of illness or a major change.
The think about your life website and the suite of tools has been developed and provided by the charitable work of Helen Sanderson Associates. Think about your life is aimed at supporting people to live well with their long term condition and for those thinking about and planning their end of their life journey. Helen Sanderson is a former occupational therapist and has been at the forefront of promoting person-centred practices within services for many years. Many of these planning tools are ways of recording the outcomes of asking yourself or your loved one reflective questions. They are particularly useful for helping you feel ‘unstuck’ and feel the need to make plans.
