NEED FOR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING OF FAMILY

Family support is important to individuals for a variety of reasons, most of which are related
to your personal well-being. Family is important to individuals because it provides benefits to
your physical, emotional, and mental health that can't be found anywhere else.

Emotional support: “Making us feel better, sharing in happy moments together,” she says.
Esteem support: “Making us feel good about ourselves, validating when we‟re doing well,
helping out when we‟re not doing as well.”
Network support: “That sense of belonging. That‟s really important with families, so you kind
of have a home base, a place where you feel accepted and you belong, no matter what.”
Informational support: How to do things that maybe were done by others in another family setting.
Tangible support: Things like financial support and care packages from home.

DECISION-MAKING SKILLS IN MANAGING SEXUALLY-RELATED ISSUES.

A decision is a choice you make or act upon. A good decision is a decision in which you have
carefully considered the outcome of each choice. To accept personal responsibility is to

you make decisions based on your needs and desires.
