This session, WCB Psychological Injury Management, covers key areas including WCB criteria for accepting psychological injuries (e.g., from traumatic events), the claims adjudication process, available treatments, and employer roles in promoting return to work. The discussion emphasizes creating psychologically safe environments, recognizing signs of mental health impacts, and collaborating with workers and case managers to develop appropriate accommodations and RTW plans that respect medical restrictions while minimizing long-term absences.
This session is especially valuable for small- to mid-sized employers, HR professionals, safety officers, and leaders new to handling mental health-related claims—though all are welcome. Leave equipped with practical knowledge to support workers compassionately, ensure compliance, and reduce the broader impacts of psychological injuries on your team and business.
