Social Work
Life after any type of injury can leave an injured person and their family feeling depressed, anxious and overwhelmed. The impact is far reaching and often devastating.
Post-Injury Counselling
Why Consider a Social Worker After a Collision or Catastrophic Injury?
- Services can be provided to the client within their home
- Early intervention can lessen the effects of the disability on the individual and their family
- Social workers assist clients to understand their emotions related to their losses, adjust to changing circumstances and help them learn coping strategies
- Social workers offer treatment that help clients achieve the best quality of life possible and enhance their functioning at home, work or leisure
Scope of Practice
- Clinical social work counselling is available for adults, children, couples and family members who have sustained an injury and are experiencing grief/loss, depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress and acute/chronic pain
- Identify client goals and provide links to community resources in the areas of housing, transportation and income replacement
- Communicate with other treating professionals, caregivers and families to ensure a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation
