As a neurological and complex disability team, we have a client population that is vulnerable to challenges where a social worker can assist. For example, a young stroke survivor who has difficulty walking and communicating; who is alone and isolated, living in public housing and is being physically abused by an intruder. In another instance, a young person with an acquired brain injury who has lost motivation to engage in therapy or to do anything; who is cancelling therapy appointments consecutively and whose family is struggling to know what to do.
