Theme 5: Engagement with Self Directed Support

Self-directed support for managing health can be accessed through people's social networks and engagement with on/offline community resources. We have developed and implemented a social network tool (GENIE) which is being used in a variety of health, social and community settings. Our research explores the properties and contexts of social networks to find out what type of support works for each individual.
