Diet & Lifestyle
Our team work together to provide support to clients to improve their diet and lifestyle. In consultation with one of our dietitians we will come up with a satisfying nutrition plan that includes your preferences. We will also look at the social and occupational aspects influencing clients' overall health and well-being. This integrated approach ensures a holistic support system that addresses physical, emotional, and occupational factors in a coherent and effective manner.
Key Features

Intervention Planning: Social workers, occupational therapists, and dieticians develop a personalized intervention plan that includes dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and support strategies.
Coordination of Services: The team coordinates efforts to ensure that clients receive comprehensive care, including dietary counseling, occupational therapy to improve daily functioning, and social support to address any psychosocial challenges.
Monitoring and Adjustments: The professionals work together to monitor the client's progress, make necessary adjustments to the intervention plan, and provide ongoing support.

The social worker helps address psychosocial challenges related to the injury, the occupational therapist works on mobility and independence, and the dietician provides guidance on nutrition for recovery and overall health.
The team assists a client with a chronic illness in managing their condition. The dietician develops a customized meal plan, the occupational therapist helps the client adapt to their daily routines, and the social worker provides emotional support and resources for coping with the psychological impact of the illness.
