Reimagining Support Brokerage – 2015

Reimagining Support Brokerage – 2015

The idea of Support Brokerage seems simple; helping people to find their way through barriers and complexities to a better life. However there has been a lot of confusion about what it should mean, who can do it and how it works. This important paper from the Chair of the National Brokerage Network [Now called the Support Brokerage Network August 2021] provides a new starting point for Support Brokerage:

• Not another industry – just a new way which frees up peoples creativity
• Not a narrowly defined planning role – but working alongside people to make change happen
• Support Brokerage is a good way of thinking about how we can become allies to positive change as people take control over their own lives.
