CASE PROFILE: JOHN

John is a young man with a large family. He has had a psychological disability that caused him to self-harm but now he is on medication and positive about life.

At his first meeting with Megan, a supervisor at a disability service that specializes in fitness, he discusses his love for running. Megan asks him how far he could go with it and John smiles 'One day I want to run a marathon'.

Megan later meets again with John, his sister and his mother. The meeting is productive and identifies that John has diabetes and epilepsy which he manages himself with medication. The impact of these health conditions and the side effects of all his medication, which includes dizziness and nausea, are also discussed.

His support needs include transport and due to the severity of his epilepsy, John cannot get a driver's license.

They say that John needs to be kept busy and active otherwise he can get depressed.

Megan, John and his mum meet again and finalize their ideas and put them in the plan including all the details about John's medication.

Megan investigates joining a gym with John, but when he lists all his medication on the fitness assessment form the manager of the gym is reluctant to take John on as a member. After another assessment, the gym agrees to offer John a restricted membership at half price, excluding use of the weight room, on agreement that a support worker accompanies him. Getting of a treadmill at the end of his session, John strikes up a conversation with a young woman who has finished her workout, they share a coffee in the cafe afterwards.
