Arji Manuelpillai’s group Zoom chat poem in collaboration those who attended the Practising Well Conversation Series with Nicola Naismith, 10 March 2022
Good support means …..
Being seen
Being heard
Listening
Being supported to flourish
community
Having time to reflect
Biscuits
Empathy
asking the unasked questions
Solidarity
Given time
mutuality
Being noticed, seen, heard, held
Good support means being connected. Being part of a community
Treated as an equal
care and respect
Time
respect
Understanding the need to step away
Circle of trust
keeping your body in check
Connection
Good support is holding me properly so I can flex
Being held and heard
understanding
being held emotionally and practically
It's knowing you are not alone
trust
inclusion and flexibility to different needs
Thinking of others
being part
not alone
feeling held
