How the process works  

Before discussing your ACSP with a support practitioner, it’s helpful to think about a typical day (good or bad) in your caring role. Write down your needs, concerns, and anything that helps you.  

During the conversation, the support practitioner will write down the key points and actions you agree on together. You can then keep a copy of the plan and share a copy with another person, if you choose to.
