The risks are too high; he will not allow her to go.

Lizzie has come to you as one of her trusted support carers and asked you for advice in speaking to her parents to help change their minds.

Scenario
Naomi Greenway is 27 years of age and loves travel and photography. Despite this, she has anxiety about meeting new people and socialising because she lost her hearing in both ears due to a severe infection that occurred when she was a teenager. She feels that if she had this condition from birth, she would cope ok, but she struggles with the fact that she could hear perfectly before the illness occurred. Her world changed, making it hard to develop, learn and grow alongside her friends and siblings. Her family are very supportive, and she lives in a loving, caring environment with her parents Rachael and Bruce. For her anxiety, she was given a support animal. She’s had Peanut, her Corgi since he was a puppy, and he goes everywhere with her. Naomi is coming around to the idea of getting out of her comfort zone and becoming more involved in her local community. She is now interested in trying new things to get her out of the house more often. You have been asked to work with her on investigating and recommending some options that may be ideal for her.

Scenario
Donny is 54 years of age. He felt that he was in the prime of his working life as a heavy transport truck driver, that was until he incurred a work-related road accident injury. He has a spinal injury that incurred nerve damage and is unable to walk and also has damage to his right hand, having lost part of three fingers. He has spent the last two years rehabilitating and learning to use both his electric and manual wheelchairs. His home has been modified to allow for ease of navigation and use of essentials such as cooking, toilet, shower, bedding, etc.

His mental health has taken a hit, as he struggled with feelings of guilt, depression and the anxieties in having to have his beloved wife Marg stop work to take care of him full-time. He now feels ready to move on and get back into the workforce, which will allow his wife the freedom to go back to doing what she loves, working in Real Estate. Money is not a factor in this decision. Donny received a significant settlement payment for his injury. He is happy to look at community networks and volunteer work options as long as he can get out of the house and give his wife, Marg, the opportunity to do so as well. He is open to different options; however, he mentions that he is not a fan of technology.

Donny loves watching various sports; particularly, he follows Aussie rules football (AFL) and used to play a lot of golf himself before his accident. You have been asked to work with Donny on investigating and recommending some new work options that may be ideal for him.
