A support network refers to the set of relationships that integrate a person with their social environment or with individuals with whom they establish communication links to address specific needs.
The importance of a support network in physical and emotional treatment is crucial for the evolution of someone facing an illness or is going through a difficult time, as it involves working together to address a problem and prevent the person from feeling isolated and unable to access solutions.
These networks are critical because they provide emotional, social, and practical support that can help confront challenges and reduce emotional burden, thus offering understanding, empathy, and social connections essential for mental well-being and recovery.
What are the benefits of a support network?
1. Providing companionship
2. Assisting in stressful situations
3. Strengthening self-esteem
4. Provide emotional support
5. Providing guidance and advice in practice
It’s worth noting that the primary support networks are built with healthcare professionals and family members. That’s why, at Equilibrium, we focus on three fundamental aspects for the patient’s recovery.
Professional Assistance
Our team consists of licensed professionals and qualified therapists to assist the patient and their family. If the patient needs psychiatric or medical assistance, we will help them schedule the necessary appointments, becoming a high-quality support network.
Self-discovery
Our goal is to provide support to our patients through the process of self-discovery, guiding them in identifying and properly managing their emotions.
Family
When a person suffers from dependency or emotional instability, the entire family is affected. That’s why we focus on educating the patient and their family about the illness and providing tools to improve their relationships.
It’s important for the family to work through their feelings to better support their loved one.
At Equilibrium, we stand out for supporting the patient and their family. Sustaining these support networks helps us prevent and combat issues, making it advisable to create and strengthen strong bonds to continually enhance the quality of life.
We provide a comprehensive admission process, including a primary assessment of the patient’s condition and needs. Throughout the process, we ensure that all measures are considered, aiming to deliver the highest level of service with kindness and understanding for each patient and family member.
