Environment
Environment is the set of conditions and relationships around a person. It includes physical places, social connection, family and community, culture, resources, safety, and the wider systems that shape everyday life.
What this domain can include
- Home, work, education, and neighbourhood
- Relationships, belonging, support, and conflict
- Safety, stability, access to resources, and practical pressures
- Cultural, social, and economic conditions
Questions to explore
- Where and with whom does the person feel safer or more supported?
- What pressures or barriers are present in the current situation?
- Could a change in support, access, or surroundings make a meaningful difference?
A person’s responses make more sense when their circumstances are considered. Understanding context can help identify practical support as well as personal resources.
