{"Image DocumentName": "POWER: Whose life is it, anyway?", "Image ImageDescription": "Support Workers DO have a certain amount of power in people\u2019s lives. Keep asking yourself: Whose life is it, anyway? Who should have the power, and who really does have it? We need to have power WITH people, not power OVER people.

As we go about our work, we need to keep asking the question: Whose life is it, anyway? Direct support staff play a key role in supporting people with disabilities to build meaningful lives. The quality of this support is enhanced when we make an effort to understand how these relationships are influenced by control and power in people\u2019s lives \u2026 who should have it and who really does have it. We need to understand that we DO have power in people\u2019s lives. But we need to have power WITH people, not power OVER people.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
