Question
I am a Community Health Care Worker and I am trying to find something for my patients.  I have a sixteen year old quad who is very depressed and I would like to find something for him to keep busy with.  Can you suggest anything?  

Answer
Hi Alma,
Thanks so much for your question.

From my experience with other patients like myself, they want to feel needed.

Find out their interests and then find something challenging in those areas to do. Make sure that what you ask them to do is within their physical limitations.

Above all, keep encouraging him.

Thanks again for your question and feel free to ask me more anytime.
