Relationally

Is identified as building bonds. Not only between yourself and the Elder, but between Elders, their families, and the community.

Trust is the foundation of all relationships and it is your responsibility to facilitate that. Relationships encourage people to be a 'better them'. Connection to others is the foundation of life. People were created to be together, and caring for someone in this way means that you are the connector. You facilitate relationships with the realization that there can be no growth, no mental, emotion, spiritual, or physical health in the absence of relationships.
