October 10th is World Mental Health Day, a powerful reminder that mental health deserves just as much care as physical health.

At iRehab, we know that recovering from a concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, or communication disorder isn’t just a physical process. It impacts emotions, confidence, relationships, and even identity. Many patients and families experience stress, anxiety, depression, or frustration as they adjust to new routines and challenges.

That’s where our social work team steps in.

The Role of Social Work in Rehab

Our licensed social workers are an integral part of our care model. They provide:

• Emotional Support: helping patients process feelings and find healthy ways to cope
  
• Resource Navigation: connecting families with financial aid, community programs, and caregiver supports
  
• Practical Strategies: teaching stress management, problem-solving, and communication tools
  
• Advocacy: partnering with schools, workplaces, and other providers to make sure patients’ needs are met
  

Meeting Families Where They Are

Recovery can feel overwhelming, and mental health support can be the piece that brings everything together. Our social workers work side by side with speech and occupational therapy to ensure care is holistic, functional, and compassionate.
