PRESENTATION
In-Voc: Restoring hope & purpose through vocational rehabilitation following a spinal cord injury
What is In-Voc? An early intervention vocational rehabilitation service for people with spinal cord injury. In-Voc uses a nine stage model of Readiness to Work/Study/Volunteer developed to represent the population we are working with. This model arose after review of the Transtheoretical model of Stages of Change (Prochaska et al 1992). In-Voc would like to share the journey of a past client who showcases the important work of Rehabilitation Counsellors using this framework/model to deliver person-centred rehabilitation counselling interventions.
