Mutuality reduces burnout and isolation
When care is shared and relational, assistants are less likely to carry pressure alone. Core members are also less likely to be treated as passive recipients.
This balanced dynamic supports healthier long-term relationships and better emotional resilience.
Trust makes support more effective
Practical support works better when trust is present. Communication is clearer, and small changes are noticed early.
Mutual relationships create that trust over time through consistency, honesty, and shared daily life.
