Just Enough Support
Just Enough Support is a planning process that helps people to find a good balance of supports utilizing all potential networks available ensuring the person is not under or over supported.
Just Enough Support is a highly practical, step-by-step approach to generating ideas, testing and implementing them. The aim is to proactively develop alternatives to paid support, promote better outcomes for people to be in control and have a good balance of supports.
How Just Enough Support will help people thrive:
- Promotes better outcomes for people and ensure they are in control if funding or staff availability reduces
- Reduces the likelihood of people becoming overly reliant on services
- Maximizes existing budgets and resources as far as possible
- Reconsiders how much paid support people need
- Seek alternatives to formal paid support
- Create new or alternative models of support
- Reduce costs within services
