Injury Management
Contemporary psychological injury management is not just about treating a worker who may have sustained a psychological injury in the workplace. Modern psychological rehabilitation services use a bio-psychosocial framework to assist workers with a variety of injuries (including physical) to return to work more quickly.
Research has repeatedly shown that “managing the risks” (Red, yellow, blue and black flags) is crucial for a successful return to work. Therefore adjustment to injury counselling is as an important part of intervention as medical assessment and treatment.
