Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Psychological Injury Management.

No. We do not provide therapy. We support recovery by coordinating communication, planning suitable duties and identifying barriers that may impact progress.

When the worker has a psychological diagnosis or symptoms that affect their capacity to participate in work or recovery planning.

Yes. Aligning workplace expectations with clinical treatment is a core part of our approach.

We focus on calm, simple communication and achievable steps. Our role is to support engagement, not push beyond safe limits.

Yes. We develop structured, capacity-based plans that are reassessed regularly.

We consider behavioural cues, reported symptoms, psychosocial factors, screening tools and workplace insights to detect barriers early.

If an employer requires deeper guidance around workplace culture, psychosocial hazards or people risk management, we recommend transitioning them to PRISM, our comprehensive employer-focused advisory service.
