Shares 5 Holistic
Approaches That
Strengthen Social
Care Practice
A holistic approach in social care
means looking at all parts of a
person’s life, physical, emotional,
social, and environmental. Pauline
Muswere explains five key
approaches that help create
support that is caring, personal, and
effective for every individual.
1. Seeing the
Whole Person, Not
the Problem
Holistic care begins by understanding
a person’s life, background, likes,
strengths, and challenges. Instead of
only focusing on issues, workers look
at who the person truly is. This helps
build trust, respect, and support that
fits what the person really wants and
needs.
2. Promoting Emotional
and Mental Wellbeing
Emotional health is very important for daily
stability. This approach includes listening
well, showing empathy, and creating a safe
place for people to share their feelings.
Supporting confidence and emotional
strength helps people take part more
actively in their own care.
3. Strengthening Social
Connections and Community

People feel better when they are
connected to others. Encouraging
community activities, family involvement,
and friendships helps reduce loneliness
and increases happiness. It also gives
individuals support from different people,
not only from care services.
4. Encouraging
Independence Through
Person-Led Planning
Holistic care gives people the power to make
choices about their own lives. Person-led
planning means the individual decides their
own goals in areas like daily living, education,
work, or relationships. This builds confidence
and supports long-term independence.
5. Integrating
Multi-Disciplinary

teams from health, education, social
care, and community services.
Working together and sharing
information ensures all parts of a
person’s life are considered. This
improves coordination, fills support
gaps, and leads to better outcomes.
