cares are helpful in doing this factor successful. Health and social care promotes such activities
through which a person can make its body fit. It relates to the whole service which are available
from hospitals and medical centres. It combines with the law, biology, nutrients, sociology and
ethics. Person who are related with health and social care have to work with hospitals, nursery
and other social care units where service users get satisfied and became healthy and fit. Present
report is based on the significant life event which change the life of a person so much(Bernard
and Perry, 2013).
In this assignment all the positive and negative life events are going to be discussed with
their impacts. Along with the response which is given by their family and friends on such type of
event and what type of support are they going to provide to them. All these things with the more
elaboration is going to be considered in this topic.
TASK 1
Q1 Impacts of significant life events
Life events are the changes which are occurred in the life of a person which changes the
whole life of an individual. These life events are the sudden cause which are taking place for
which an individual not prepared at all(Allwood et. al., 2012). They can be positive and negative
because it is not compulsory that all the time they are bad in nature. Positive life events impacts a
positive effective in a person life like a person who is suffering from cancer and get over come
from that. Then , its effect is positive. Therefore, different events have different impacts on the
life of a person and can be measure that how stressful they are actually for that person. The
impacts of these life events can be social,physical and psychological affects to a person.
Positive impacts:
1. If sudden event is not acceptable but it gives some knowledge for the life time then this
affect can be positive.
2. It also helps in making other aware about such problems like cancer and many other
diseases which affects the human body most.
3. The support from family members and friends can also helps in made a positive impact
and they also helps in getting recover from such problems.

4. Some social units also helps in making people overcome this problem by motivating
them, giving therapies etc.
Negative impact:
1. The negative impacts can be measured as the headache, exhaustion etc. it leads to take a
person into depression.
2. This sudden events also leads to an individual for attempting suicide. This can also be
termed as the psychological impact.
All these events affects the life of a person and their life get affected from that whether in
positive context or in negative context. The positive impacts helps in motivating a person and
also leads in making them mentally fit.
Negative impacts affects the life most which may end at the suicide point of a person
because of psychological affection on life. They get mentally disturb which sometimes leads in
making them mental and mentally disabled(Johnson, et.al., 2015).
Two famous researcher implies the scale which helps in measuring the stress level in
different situation and then they interpret score on each and every situation. So, that a person
situation can be examined and understood without any problem. In this scale various conditions
are discussed and then their interpretation get succeed. This helps in finding out that what is the
maximum stress level of a person and how can they get recover from that.
Q2 Analysis of reaction by family members and friends on event and their overcome method
All the members have different reaction over on the life events. They give their different
advices for recovering from that situation. For negative events they do not give positive reaction
and helps in giving condolence to them. So that they can get improve from that situation as early
as possible. Groups tries to make the situation as light as possible and keep supporting to an
individual for all the time. So, that they can forgot their negative past(Finley et.al., 2012).
On positive situation the reaction is normal and acceptable. The group have to conduct
different sessions in which they tries to improve mental position of a person and make the
environment and society things easy and acceptable for that individual. The family members try
to give some work to the mental affected person so, that it get engaged in some activities and
which further leads in helping out from get overcome from these critical situation. This helps in
making the life easy and can return their life on normal mode as early as possible.

Groups tries to initiates some group activities which also work as the key essential in
getting recover form these situations without so much problem. Also they can encouraged the
one of the hobbies of a affected person which helps in getting an individual overcome. Music is
the best element for getting overcome in any situation so, families have to conduct a session for
that also. It further leads in making the person condition normal soon(Kate and Bell, 2016).
Groups have to maintain a positive attitude and behaviour in any situation it helps in
motivating an individual so, that recovery task become possible as soon as they can. This is the
major duty which they have to do.
Q3 Impact for others in health and social care
After a significant life event life of an individual get affected also the others mindset for
them get changed. This helps in creating a bonding and mutual understanding between them.
Their reaction is different from according to the vent and their mind got changed according to
that. They start supporting them and helps them in each and every manner. This is the main
factor where understanding between groups and an individual increase. All such things can
become possible if they maintain a balance between in their understanding and they became able
to help each other.

TASK 3
Q7 Reflection on personal account and recommendation
I am always tries to support those personalities who face significant life events in their
life. I helped them to get recover from such situation so, that their life can became normal and
positive as early as possible. One of my friend is suffering from significant event, his father
passed away in a car accident and this was the major shock for him. This event was shaken him
very badly(Magdaleno, Blajszczak and Nieto,2017).
He was getting upset and went in to depression as he was good in study so, his studies
totally got affected. He had felt loss and did not be able to continue with up his life. That was the
time when I realise that I had to try my best so, that he can get come out from this depression
situation. So, I tried to cheer him up and start doing such activities in which he is interested. By

doing such things it helps in the encouraging him most along with that it was the best try which
helps me to do this thing which is beneficial for this type of recovery. We both start to attending
seminars of motivation in which these type of topics are arises as well as also take him out for
chill(Murray, Jenner and Pickett, 2011). These things help him in feeling the sense of fluffiness
within himself. These are the important things which I had adopted for him to get over come
from any situation.
I started giving company to him in every situation and start listening to various type of
music which he like most. Music was his love so, I picked up this thing and start cheering him
with the help of this. After sometime I marked some changes into him and this was my great
success. This helps me in changing himself and helps him in getting again his soul. But this was
not the end a bit aloof was remain in him. So, I managed a trip where we spent so much time
with full of joy and happiness. Then after sometime his behaviour became normal and he came
out from the depression. This move on was the toughest situation for him because only he can
understand his pain no one else going to understand that. This was the learning experience for
me which aware me about that how to deal with such situations and such type of person. This
significant change of his life taught me many things about all these things(Bazelais and Bruce,
2013).
These situations are not easily acceptable for anyone and this may affect the entire life of
a person but with the help of right person who helps in making the situation positive is the best
one who helps in getting out from these crises. Like me many individuals have to do this things
with their relatives who are suffering from such conditions. So, every one get come out from
depression and maintain positive attitude for its entire life without any issue.
The best recommendation for significant event is that a person should have to be properly
trained about every factors which are related with these conditions. Family members have to take
proper decisions for them along with that they have to adopt such activities which are helpful in
taking out from the depression so, that negative factors can be decline and reduced.
This moral support and nature is the best medicine for anyone. So, they have to adopt this
technique in their improvement. This is a best recommendation for every person who is suffering
from this situation. Because family is the best medicine and friends are the best doctors in the
entire world.

Professionals and expertise also have to take initiative in this concern because they are
well known to how to deal with these conditions. They have to distribute their knowledge to
every one by conducting seminars so, that any person who is facing significant event can get
over come from that(Spiess, Wahr and Nussmeie, 2010).
These professionals also conduct some meditation seminars and clinics in which they
have to work on those patients. Some NGO''s are already working in this field. Their working
helps in saving many people life. This expansion of knowledge can help to many individual in
health and social care field to work in effective manner and improve the life of those people
whom are facing these crises and already affected their life from these significant events.
Training programmes should be conducted and the workers who wants to work in this
field get trained with that and became able to help each and every individual who is suffering
from unfavourable situation. Also these training practises taught them all the methods and
techniques which are related with such issues and then they can apply such methods in their daily
routine practical life(Hawgood and Ponsen, 2012).
Another thing which is affected by the such crises is that health of an individual get
affected. So, these health and social care help them to recover their health. By motivating them,
creating positive environment around them, and make friendly behaviour with such person. So,
negative environment can be removed and positive environment can be maintained so,that
recovery will take less and less time. Which further helps in removing the depression stage from
an individual. These recommendations have to be used for helping out such individual who are
suffering from significant events and live their life in such manner which they live.
CONCLUSION
It is concluded from the above report that health and social care sector, helps in
recovering a person from significant changes from unforeseen events which affects an individual
life totally. Along with that it also leads in affecting its mental stability and a person will go in
the depression. Family and friends also helps in getting recover from these crises. Significant
events hits an individual life so much. By using appropriate method and technique it can be
sorted out. Their impact over on an individual life is not good and thus also leads in suicide
stage. But by proper training to workers it can be reduced and after training these workers can
work on these issues in their practical life also.
