WorkReturns Program
The WorkReturns Program is a unique treatment program pioneered by Green Oaks Hospital. The principle aim of this program is to help clients successfully make the transition back to work following an absence due to physical or psychological disability. After an initial assessment of factors interfering with employment, WorkReturns staff teach the individual how to manage their condition and return to the workplace as soon as it is clinically appropriate to do so. Process groups addressing work issues, skills groups on topics relevant to the workplace, and an individualized plan to return to work aid in the smooth transition back to the job. The WorkReturns Program also facilitates communication between the client and employer through telephone or worksite consultation. And Aftercare Group is offered to those who have discharged from the program. This support group acts as a sounding board and provides feedback to those who are testing their newly acquired skills in the workplace. Who benefits from the program? Everyone! The employee experiences an increased sense of confidence and self worth, and improved mood. Employers experience a healthier and more productive employee, decreased costs for disability, and workers compensation claims, increased employee morale and retention. For more information on the WorkReturns Program, contact Mike Ashworth,Ph.D at 972/985-1599.
