When developing a clear path for treatment and management strategies best suited for the individual and their families, treatment providers may need support workers with a specific skill set to ensure that their patient/client can engage in their activities of daily living, and other goal oriented programming. Anchor ’s Brain Injury Support Workers (BISW), Mental Health Workers (MHW) and Behaviour Support Workers (BSW) under the direction of the regulated health care professionals, work with individuals that have suffered traumatic injuries as a result of a motor vehicle or work place accident. Our support workers focus on facilitating the "enhanced attendant care" component. Enhanced attendant care is needed when an individual requires a front line professional that has specific set of skills, experience and/or background directly related to the individual's impairments. Regular PSW support is not always warranted for an injured person, and the individual(s) may require support based on their problematic and/or high risk behaviour, mental health difficulties or direct support around the symptomatology that comes with suffering a traumatic brain injury.
