Accommodation Assessments for Employees with Mental Health Concerns

When your employee is struggling at work with performance concerns, it is time for help. We know that mental distress can cause challenges with thinking, behaviours, team work and productivity. Our Occupational Therapists provide objective assessments of the work, worker, and workplace for recommendations of practical strategies that will lead to success staying at work. This process allows you to offer reasonable accommodation for your employee to meet your legal due diligence, but more importantly, to have a healthy and productive employee once again. Our accommodation assessments during stay at work and prior to return to work can give you the tools to ensure sustainable work accommodations.

Work-Focused Mental Health Coaching with Occupational Therapists

 

As an employer, you know that mental health is crucial to employee focus and productivity. Providing early and accessible support will give your employees the ability to develop practical workplace tools when life is challenging. Our Occupational Therapists provide psychotherapy to assist employees in managing health concerns, developing improved coping skills, and engaging in work tasks. 

Employees can meet with an Occupational Therapist to: 

• Discuss their current challenges 
• Participate in work-focused job coaching 
• Implement practical work-focused strategies and tools
• Develop a resiliency plan
• Connect with community supports, where applicable

We use strengths-based and evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
