I GOT YOU

What happens when you know what you want to say - but cannot find the words to say it?

I GOT YOU is a personal information and communication book designed to help preserve a person's voice, identity and individuality when expressing themselves becomes difficult - temporarily or permanently.

Through guided questions and space for personal answers, the book brings together the things that make a person who they are: how they communicate, what matters to them, what they can do, their familiar routines, what helps them feel safe, and how they want to be supported.

It can be completed in advance or whenever support is needed, independently or with help from someone who knows the person well. It can also be adapted and updated as needs and circumstances change.

I GOT YOU can help important knowledge travel with the person - at home, in hospital, in residential care or somewhere new - giving family members, friends and professionals a way to understand the person behind the information, not just their diagnoses or support needs.

This is not a medical record or a care plan.

It is a practical place to gather the knowledge that helps a person remain known, heard and included - even when words are difficult to find.

Because when my words become harder to find, I am still here.
