We spend time  helping to talk  things through with the  service user such as   experience  and their general perception about life. The purpose is to  allow  the service user  to ask questions and then give him/her  time to process the information.

Some times  would arrange for the service user  to volunteer at shop or any other environment that supports their interest ie pet shops etc.
