FOOD FOR THOUGHT FROM OPEN FUTURE LEARNING

A support worker is paid. A friend is not. A support worker writes reports, follows policies, and leaves when the shift ends or the job changes. A friend stays because they choose to. When we blur those lines, we risk asking people with intellectual disabilities to pretend that something paid for is the same as something freely given.


Real support should make friendship possible, not replace it. The goal of support is not become someone's social world; it is to help them build one. When staff step back from trying to be the friend, space opens to help people build friendships with neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and community members. The measure of a good support is not how close the staff relationship feels. It is whether the person's life is bigger, richer, and filled with people who are there because they want to be.


In effect people will need to choose if they want to be there as a friend or be there as a support worker - they should not and cannot be both.
