Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: As a Psychiatric Nurse with twenty-one years of experience as a Registered Nurse I became concerned when family friends clients and coworkers informed me that they had felt disrespected or ignored by healthcare providers when requesting supportive care. Behavioral Psychologist all agree that social reinforcers are among the most powerful reasons for obtaining and maintaining behaviors and yet these reinforcers are so often neglected. I believe that there is a need for a service that would respect a Customers cultural background and their individual styles while also providing social support. On The Front Porch was developed in an effort to provide these services.
