What are some of the strategies you might use to help Pam manage her difficulties?

Assist Pam to:

• set up weekly timetable or diary with regular leisure activities included
  use a whiteboard to list daily activities (this will be updated daily or weekly depending on needs)
• encourage use of a diary (that Pam carries with her) where she lists what she has been doing. Encourage Pam to write in her diary at least once a day to record events as well as ‘to do’ lists
• set a budget for leisure expenses- prioritise leisure activities if necessary
  investigate minimal/ no cost leisure options, depending on interests (eg. go to a museum)
