The primary focus on assessing a person's psychological condition after experiencing a traumatic event is to enable medical and other allied health professionals to be facilitated to promote the most effective recovery plan possible. It allows workers compensation providers to support the most thorough and comprehensive treatment options to be activated. This is designed to promote sound recovery and prevent any potential long-term psychological deterioration from occurring in the workplace.

The essential ingredients for any short-term solution focused counselling strategy are to establish initial and progressive assessments as the worker recovers through treatment. Our progressive assessments enable us to update specified personnel (under individually contracted confidentiality provisions) and give guidance to facilitate appropriate return to work schedules as the worker re-establishes their life in the aftermath of losing someone or being exposed to a traumatic incident.

It is important to note if people have a supportive workplace and family most people only require one to two consultations to facilitate recovery following a traumatic incident. Primarily the sooner psychological support is provided the quicker a person positively responds to treatment. If trauma reactions start to develop into maladaptive behavioural patterns due to a prolonged delay in support being offered, some psychological conditions can only be shifted with more long-term counselling.

Overall our aim is to provide timely trauma, grief and loss intervention, assessment and psychological support, which leads to positive acceptance, re-establishing personal self-worth and growth towards the future.
