• That it is important that all resources be sought and utilized to reduce emotional, interpersonal, and environmental stress;
• That flexible supports in the framework of a healthy and safe home is imperative in achieving one’s desired lifestyle;
• That family, friends and others significant in the life of the person are part of the support team.
