This approach to discharge planning ensures that all patients get the right amount of help. Sometimes a little help to implement safety recommendations goes a long way to ensuring a sustainable recovery. We are fortunate to be working with the amazing team at Faircape!

I posted a blog about resilience and regulation on my website! https://www.empoweredtothrive.co.za/resilience-regulation/

Resilience is your ability to bounce back and to be okay despite the challenges you face. Sometimes our normal coping strategies are not sufficient to deal with the stressors we are facing, and we need to go back to the drawing board. It helped me tremendously to understand what is happening in my body and my brain on a physiological level and to understand how that is impacting my thoughts and feelings. And then to know that I can ‘hack’ my central nervous system and I can start to feel differently by activating a different part of my nervous system.

This is how we have meetings! Today we ran the 12km Bartinney to Bartinney race and we were able to reflect, discuss and brainstorm so many things.

Gail Hunter is an integral part of the team, we have come such a long way to refine our vision for the health care social work services the practice provides.

This is what the practice aims to offer their social workers- a well balanced life where we also take care of our own physical and mental health, not just preach it.

Thank you for an amazing morning, Gail!

Welcome to my page! I am a social worker in private practice in and around Cape Town and I am passionate to empower people to thrive- I am specifically knowledgeable on the rights and services available to the elderly and I have a huge appreciation for how horses can help humans. I share content on nervous system regulation, geriatrics, equine assisted counseling and benefits of social work services...so follow along if any of that resonates with you!

I have a team of social workers that are ready to assist if you want a consultation, we are just a phone call away!

I love how versatile social work is. Our scope is wide and where there is a need, social workers will find a way to meet it.

We have a huge responsibility to protect and stand up for people's rights (we are bound to a code of ethics), but in South Africa we often have to do this with limited resources. I truly believe that is what makes our profession so special- we care, so we creatively find solutions with our clients.

We are here for you!
