A mentor system in rehabilitation.

12/9/2014

This video was filmed around the same time I wrote "How to improve patient outcome, and save $$$ in the process".

Today I still believe it would be helpful for many patients who've had a life changing experience, whereby it is not so important what kind of injury it is, but how the individual copes with psychological and social changes.

Wolfgang Wolf BSocP (Couns.), DipComD.

In 1990 Wolfgang had a major stroke, which he barely survived. It left him in a wheelchair, unable to write, barely able to stand, and talk. He did not give up and feel sorry for himself, but went on to orchestrate this change to his new life, and take control of it. While he recovered and adjusted to life in a wheelchair he wrote a book, an electronic, revised version of which is now on Amazon. After this he studied and completed a Bachelor of Social Practice (Major: Counselling) and a Diploma in Community Development.

While studying he founded, and still chairs, “Computers Against Isolation”, a registered charity which provides people who live with disabilities with computers.
Before his stroke he worked in Advertising and Direct Marketing. Today he is active in the stroke community, does counselling work, and appears as a public speaker.
