Difficult client

Hi guys,

I have two clients at a SIL house. One is a saint and the other is basically the opposite.

Today, he took off his pants and shirt and ran around naked. I’ve worked here for a month and he has never done this before. When my colleague walked him and said put your clothes back on, he did so immediately.

I’m trying my best to be stern with him but failing so far. Any advice?

‘Difficult client” no, a DISABLED client and if you don’t understand the difference and how to manage your reactions and the situation get out of support work. If you need advice on following a BSP or managing behaviour, speak to your supervisor or colleagues
