SECOND SATURDAYS

The Therapeutic Classroom

Rehab to Real Life:
Making the Transition after Disabling Injury
The sheltered life of rehabilitation is helpful when recovering from a disabling injury. When rehab is over, it’s not always easy to put together a new life with value and purpose. This workshop is designed to help patients and their families recognize the social, emotional and practical challenges of life with a disability and develop plans for meeting those challenges. The workshop will include lecture and group discussion on the topics of reconstructing a social life, redefining personal identity and purpose, and organizing daily routines to make those social and personal goals a reality.

Speakers & Facilitators
The speakers and facilitators are experienced rehabilitation professionals. They include:
Roberta M. Diddel, Ph.D., psychologist and Executive Director of Psychology Works
Christine Wiegman, LCSW, social worker, Memorial Hermann TIRR Out‐Patient Therapy
Vanessa Southard, LCSW, Director, Social Work and Mental Health Services, TIRR
