28. 7 signs that it’s time to refer someone you are supporting

On the show today we talking about how to know when it’s time to refer someone you are supporting.    

This is a conversation that can be really hard to navigate.  People are looking to you for support, but you only have a limited amount of resources, skills and capacity to support people. 

As supporters or ministry leaders people often think we have the answers to some of life’s most challenging issues.  The expectations others put on us are just not realistic.  When working with people who have high needs it’s is common to work with others as a circle of care network rather than doing everything alone.  

In this episode, I’m going to identify three types of supporters, their skills and expertise that they bring to support as well as identify 7 signs that indicate that it’s time to refer or bring in other supporters.
