Supporting with Heart by Pouya Farbod redefines disability care through compassion, empathy, and human rights. This powerful guide inspires support workers, families, and professionals to move beyond compliance and reconnect with the humanity at the core of care. Learn how to translate human rights principles into daily practice, build authentic relationships, and rediscover purpose in the field of disability support.
A New Vision for Disability Support—Where Humanity Comes First
In a world often governed by systems, checklists, and procedures, Pouya Farbod’s Supporting with Heart offers a powerful reminder — that true care begins with compassion. This groundbreaking book transforms the idea of disability support from a technical job into a deeply human mission rooted in respect, empathy, and the principles of human rights.
Farbod’s work is more than a professional handbook; it’s a call to action for everyone involved in the disability sector — support workers, families, advocates, and community leaders — to move beyond compliance and towards care that truly centers humanity.
Bringing Human Rights to Life in Everyday Practice
At its heart, Supporting with Heart explores what happens when human rights are not just theories, but living values that guide how we support, communicate, and connect with people with disabilities. Drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience, Farbod blends lived wisdom with real-world strategies, creating a resource that is both deeply emotional and intensely practical.
Through every chapter, readers learn how to:
- Translate human rights principles into everyday care actions
- Build authentic, respectful relationships with the people they support
- Navigate complex ethical decisions with compassion and confidence
- Reignite their sense of purpose and meaning in their professional role
It’s a book that doesn’t just tell you what to do—it helps you understand why it matters.
Why This Book Matters Now
In today’s fast-evolving care environment, disability support workers face increasing administrative demands and emotional fatigue. The result? Many lose sight of the human connection that first inspired them to enter the field.
Supporting with Heart is both a guide and a healing reminder — that every interaction, no matter how small, can affirm dignity, agency, and respect. It challenges outdated systems that prioritize efficiency over empathy, urging professionals to rediscover the heart in their support.
As Farbod writes, supporting someone is not about control or correction, but collaboration and connection.
