79: Purpose of social rehabilitation

You could also call this:

"Social rehabilitation helps people become more independent after an accident"

Social rehabilitation is meant to help you get back as much of your independence as possible. The goal is to assist you in becoming as self-reliant as you can be after an accident. This means helping you do things on your own and manage your daily life to the best of your ability. The people who work on your rehabilitation will try their hardest to help you regain as much independence as they can.
