Infancy

During infancy , the infant is fully dependent on the adult. This is because they can't cook to feed themselves. They need someone to take care of them to feed them , wash them and etc. They need physical , social and emotional support to grow and become independent.

Childhood

During childhood , this is when they slightly increase their independence. Such that they can go to the toilet by themselves and clean their teeth. But they would still need help for many things that they still cannot do, such as cooking meals. They need someone to teach them how to read and write.

Adolescence

During adolescence , it is a time of physical independence. This is because they can cook basic meals and shop for ingredients. They might need help with their physical changes such as understanding them and coping with them. Also, they may need help developing social confidence and emotional resilience if they do not already have these traits. Furthermore they might need help deciding where to go after secondary school and may need support getting used to their new settings.

Early adulthood

Through out early adulthood, they need help with their career to stay fit and well. Also guidance on managing finances. Also applying to university and moving out if they do.

Middle adulthood

During middle adulthood they may need help managing stress and health issues, as well as helping aging parents and planning for the future. You might also need help in marrying or divorcing.

Later adulthood

Throughout late adulthood they may need assistance with daily tasks, medical checkups and not being lonely. They may also face bereavement from the loss of someone close to them. Might need help getting over it

Illnesses are often seen as changes from a normal to an abnormal biological state caused by pathogens or genetics.

The main types of treatments are medical treatments including drugs , surgeries and therapy. They diagnose someone and find the cure for it.

Doctors play an important role in both diagnosing and treating illnesses. But most of the time, the person has to look out for medical attention and follow the procedures and treatments that the doctor gives them. This way, it reassures the person because they feel like they know what will happen to them and how they will be treated.

The downside of the medical model is that it doesn't consider factors such as environment or social. Also, it doesn't have a cure for mental illnesses or genetic disorders.

The social model of health and well-being focuses on understanding health through social factors. It says that health is influenced by cultural , social , economic and environmental factors. Rather than the person's biological factor. Social environment factors such as housing , work , education , income , access to healthcare and over all lifestyle has an impact on an individual's health. An example could be a child living in a small cramped flat filled with mold and its unclean is going to have a worse quality of life instead of a child living in a big house its clean and its mold free. These factors have an impact on the individual because they impact their quality of life.

Early intervention can prevent or lessen potential lasting effects if developmental issues are identified early.

Furthermore , the earlier the causes are found the less stress the patient goes through , as well as the family of the patient.

An example could be that a child born deaf will be given support and it might be a hearing aid so they can learn to speak and hear, or it might be to learn sign language.

In conclusion , the recognition and response to concerns about an individual's growth and development by health and social care practitioners are important for ensuring successful outcomes that affect the person's physical , emotional , social, and academic progress. Through early intervention and support , practitioners can ensure that individuals reach their full potential.

The first life stage is infancy.

Health and social care services meet the care needs by having health visiting services. This is when a health visitor comes and provides support and guidance to parents about their infant. They check their feeding talk about immunizations and check their weight and height to see if they have hit the milestone which should be met.

Early childhood

If the child hasn't hit certain milestones there are programs such as speech therapy , occupational therapy and physical therapy. These are available for children with development delays or disabilities. A example could be if a child hasn't started speaking yet they can be refereed to speech therapy to help them start speaking.

Childhood

School nurse's help by offering immunizations and also helps with diseases such as asthma and diabetes by managing it. For example if a child has asthma the school nurse will have an asthma pump assigned to the child to help them in case it is needed.

Adolescence

School also helps adolescents with providing counseling and therapeutic interventions to help young people experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety , depression and behavioral issues. For example if a student is facing depression they can go to counseling to help them over come that depression by speaking to the counselor.

Early Adulthood / Middle adulthood

There is the GP which offers diagnosis and they get to the problem before it gets worse also treatments for common health problems. But they also refer you to specialist when needed they are the primary care service. A example could be if a  adult went to the GP for treating a burn they could be referred to the hospital by the GP if needed.

Another could be rehabilitation services which is when people recover from surgeries , accidents  or chronic conditions. A example could be if a person has been in an accident and broke their leg they can access physiotherapy to help walk again and go back to normal life.
