Family Services-

As an integral member of the rehabilitation team, the family and/or significant others are involved in the rehabilitation process from admission through to discharge. Necessary education and support is provided to family members to improve their understanding of the implications of brain injury.

NRIO includes the family in goal setting and encourages ongoing communication with the rehabilitation team. We have also set goals for ourselves in the area of family service and education.

• To include the family in the decision making process as it relates to rehabilitation
• To provide the family with an understanding of their role in promoting a successful outcome
• To enhance the transfer and generalization of skills to the home, workplace and other environments
• To supply the family and/or caregivers with all the training, understanding and ability to better assist and participate in the care of their loved one

NRIO offers the following services to families and caregivers:

• Family education
• Family counselling
• Assistance in the implementation of home based rehabilitation programs
• Families, couples, spouses and children workshops
• Recreational activities
