What is the primary goal of instrumental support?

  1. Fostering self-confidence

  2. Providing community health information

  3. Offering tangible assistance to accomplish tasks

  4. Promoting emotional well-being

The correct answer is: Offering tangible assistance to accomplish tasks

The primary goal of instrumental support is to offer tangible assistance to help individuals accomplish specific tasks or achieve particular goals. This type of support often includes practical help, such as providing transportation, assisting with daily activities, or helping to navigate logistical challenges that may be barriers to recovery or personal development. Instrumental support differs from emotional support, which aims to enhance someone's emotional well-being, and information support, which focuses on sharing knowledge, such as community health resources. By providing concrete assistance, instrumental support enables individuals to take actionable steps toward their objectives, making it a critical component in recovery and personal growth scenarios.
