Social work plays a vital role in empowering individuals living with disabilities and their informal support networks. At Wired for Wellness, our social work services encompass a range of essential functions aimed at supporting our clients in achieving their goals and enhancing their overall well-being.
Assessment & Planning
First and foremost, we focus on assessment and planning, collaborating closely with you, your family, caregivers, and formal supports to develop personalised support plans tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. This comprehensive approach ensures that our services are aligned with your individual goals and priorities.
Emotional Support & Counselling
Living with a disability can present emotional challenges, and our social workers are here to offer counseling and emotional support to help you and your family navigate these difficulties. We also provide education and training, empowering individuals and families with knowledge about disability-related issues and helping them develop the skills needed to be more self-sufficient and engaged in their communities.
