Your social worker will make contact with you and your family soon after your admission to the Spinal Injuries Unit. Your social worker will be part of the team that will be caring for you throughout your admission to hospital. Your social worker can help you and your family deal with the emotional stress that accompanies hospitalisation and disability – from the point of crisis, throughout your rehabilitation to discharge. Your social worker can also assist you in many practical ways.
One of the first things your social worker will do is sit down with you and your family to discuss your individual situation and how we can best meet your needs during the rehabilitation process.
Your social worker will discuss various aspects of your situation such as emotional and psychological issues, accommodation, legal and financial matters.
