Standing Beside You

A letter on the table. A missed appointment. Someone asking, "Could you take a look?"

You want to help. Before you know it, you are keeping track of dates, writing messages and taking on more responsibility than you agreed.

Standing Beside You helps you get a clear picture together, communicate clearly and agree what you can offer. It explores how to keep the other person involved, recognise when more support is needed and protect your own boundaries.

With familiar situations, ten sample messages and twelve practical worksheets, this book is for adults who support someone close to them with care needs, money worries, correspondence or contact with organisations.
