Describe in your own words the Five Ways to Wellbeing and how can they help someone to think and behave differently. What are the limitations of this approach to improving health and wellbeing? In this essay I will define the five elements that make up the New Economics Foundation (NEF), the five ways to wellbeing, and how they can help someone to think and behave differently, I will also discuss their limitations to improving health and wellbeing using the case studies from K118. Scientific evidence points to five steps that we can take to improve our wellbeing. The NEC developed these five steps from evidence gathered in the UK government’s foresight project on mental capital and wellbeing ( neweconomics n.d ).

This essay will focus on one of the K101 five key principles of care practice “Support people in having a voice and being heard”; firstly this essay will define the statement “Support people in having a voice and being heard”, secondly I will then explain why it is important for care workers to put this principle into practice, by using Goffman’s “Total institution” and Lennox Castle hospital as comparison and former patient Margaret Scully, (K101 block 2, unit 7), as examples of when voices go unheard and unsupported, then lastly this essay will show how carers can empower service users to have a voice, using research from Howard Mitchell and Lennox Castle. I would define “Support people in having a voice and being heard” as the carer empowering the individual to express their needs and wishes in improving their quality of life and wellbeing. To ensure the individual are being supported, the carer must learn to develop a good supportive relationship with the individual, allowing them to voice their choices and opinions without prejudices, (K101, Unit 4 pg. 184), however in contrast Lennox castle was on the opposite side of the spectrum, the “inmates” voices’ remained unheard for many years, “ …the philosophy of care was much about control, discipline and segregation… the individuals were not treated as individuals or members of wider society, or that they had any choice about their lives.”(K101, DVD Unit 7, Activity 3). Lennox castle was built in the 1920s and took it first “ Inmate” in 1936, the hospital was set up to care for people with “mental defectives”, the patients were put in categories: “ imbeciles”, feeble minded persons” and “moral imbeciles” (Block 2 DVD, unit 7, Activity 3) and lived a very ridged and institutional way of life.
* * * * * * * * Examination of Clinical Psychology Paper CC PSY 480 April 8. 2013 Dr. Stephany Lewis History The definition of psychology according to Plante (2011, p. 5) is an effort to take part in the principle and concept of psychology to have a clearer understanding; to “predict, and alleviate intellectual, emotional, biological, psychological, social, and behavioral aspects of human functioning’’. Within the same definition effort Plante also indicated the purpose of clinical psychology refers to “the aspect of psychological science and practice concerned with the analysis, treatment, and prevention of human psychological disabilities and with the enhancing of personal adjustment and effectiveness.” Plante stated these aspects in clinical psychology; many would contradict opinion regard to the actual functioning of clinical psychology, acquiring limited understanding of difficulties individuals experience with an attempt to assist in a clinical environment. When attempting to argue the historic approach to clinical psychology, individuals are encouraged to consider the nature and the evolution process of the human actions. In the beginning, humans gained cognitive skills, were able to correctly physically maneuver, and seek the way to better life for oneself.

As I learned through my jobs in college, sales were not for me and I enjoyed dealing with people. My job with the Social Security Administration allows me to do all three. As long as I have a genuine concern for each person I speak to and follow the policies SSA sets, both my employer and I are happy with my work. At times people may have problems beyond what I can help them with through my job or even beyond them, which I like to encourage them to think positive or look through for options. My job can negative at times, but encouraging others and trying to give them hope is what motivates

The change comes in the form of an information leaflet to raise awareness to the patient and their family about the importance of maintaining a good well balanced nutritional intake and how this affects wound healing. There is evidence to suggest that giving clients written information helps to reduce anxiety and therefore improve healing, give empowerment and increase satisfaction (Little et al, 2004)).
Personality and team effectiveness According to Huczynski and Buchanan (2007) a personality profile contains five key characteristics: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and negative emotionality which affect team effectiveness. The main advocates of this approach are Paul Costa and Robert McRea. Each characteristic, which has two sides, shows something about how you react in different situations. However, you cannot say which side of a characteristic is best. You have to see it in relation to other things.
