This is what you need to know about our responsibilities, regarding your health and wellbeing.
Living well
We'll make sure that:
- you understand about healthy eating and the importance of exercise
- your staying put carer or residential worker helps you learn how to cook healthy meals and encourages you to take regular exercise
Getting help if needed
Your staying put carer or residential worker will help you access services you may need. They'll make sure you have the support you need from the right organisations, at the right time, for example:
- mental health services
- drug and alcohol services
