your primary purpose will be to support this individual to live a meaningful, happy life. you will empower him to identify his goals, pursue hobbies, support his health and wellbeing, and be a part of the local community. this young man is an avid film buff, therefore an interest in films would be an advantage, particularly harry potter and marvel films!
