These are: Close family and friends Being financially secure Happy environment in which she lives Close family and friends Sarah has a good relationship with her parents and sees them every week, she also has a very close relationship with her daughter and they do lots of nice things together. Sarah can turn to her parents in times of need, when she is feeling down or if she needs to borrow money. Sarah often goes on holiday with her parents and daughter, where they relax and spend time bonding. All of these things have a positive effect on her emotional and social well being as she feels she always has people to turn to if she is feeling stressed or worried about anything. She gets to meet new people on holiday and gets to spend time with her friends when her parents look after her daughter. It is important for Sarah to have ‘time out’ with her friends, away from her daughter as she feels needs this time to just be herself, relax and enjoy herself. She trusts her parents to look after her daughter and has no worry or guilt when she is left in their care. The strong family bonds which Sarah has help her to thrive in her life which has a positive effect on her physical and emotional health. Being financially secure Sarah has a good job, which she enjoys. She earns a reasonable salary and doesn’t live beyond her means. She can afford to go on holidays and provide her daughter with all the things she needs. These things have a positive effect on her emotional and physical well being as she doesn’t need to worry about not having enough money to pay bills and providing a good life for her and her daughter. Being financially secure means she doesn’t get stressed about money which has a positive effect on her physical health. Sarah is sensible with money and never gets herself into debt. She refuses to have credit cards and always turns loans down if the banks offer them to her. This shows that Sarah is sensible and level headed when it comes to finances. She feels she cannot afford to get herself into debt as her main priority is her child. Being financially secure makes Sarah feel happy which positively affects her emotional health.

She owns her house and is very proud of what she has achieved in owning her own home. She feels she is bringing her daughter up in a safe and happy environment. She gets along well with her neighbours and they often get together for a coffee and a chat. She also feels she can ask her neighbours to lend her things like milk or sugar if she needs them and they also feel they can ask her for things when needed. This has a positive effect on Sarah’s emotional and social health as she is happy in her environment and feels at peace when she is home. She has good relationships with her neighbours and feels she can turn to them if she needs them.
