Tukihenkilönsä

Tukihenkilönsä is a Finnish word that translates to "their support person" or "their helper". It refers to an individual who provides assistance and emotional support to another person. This role can be formal or informal, depending on the context.

In a formal setting, a tukihenkilönsä might be a designated professional, such as a social worker, therapist, or a volunteer trained to offer support. They could assist individuals facing various challenges, including mental health issues, disabilities, or difficult life circumstances. Their duties might involve practical help, guidance, advocacy, or simply being a consistent and understanding presence.

Informally, a tukihenkilönsä is often a friend, family member, or colleague who offers support out of care and concern. This type of support is typically more personal and may involve listening, offering advice, or helping with everyday tasks. The key aspect of a tukihenkilönsä, regardless of formality, is their role in helping someone navigate difficulties and improve their well-being. The possessive suffix "-nsä" indicates that this is *their* specific support person, belonging to someone previously mentioned or understood from the context.
