Social Work

Social workers provide counseling and therapy to assist individuals and their families in addressing emotional and coping issues associated with changes in life roles and functional abilities. The impact of illness and disability can extend to all family members. Our social workers can help reduce the impact of these changes on the individual and family. They can provide training in stress management and effective communication.

For those who suffer from brain injury, social workers can provide assistance with developing behaviour management strategies and helping families to adjust to the changes associated with brain injury. Our social workers can also help to address complex social problems like the impacts of poverty, inadequate housing and the barriers imposed by discrimination.
