In the United States workforce, mental health issues are common and the prevalence of depression is anywhere from 7% to 16%. Given the dramatic influence mental health has on the duration of physical injury claims, its effect on return-to-work cannot be overlooked. Case managers must understand the impact, detect these conditions early on, and move forward by thinking outside of the box.
Join clinical psychologist and work disability prevention and occupational health consultant, Renée-Louise Franche, Ph.D., R. Psych, and Paradigm Medical Director Steven Moskowitz, MD, to learn the fundamental principles of and latest research in mental health and return-to-work. Dr. Franche will discuss the impact mental health has on the course of workers’ compensation claims, claims management best practices, and applied recommendations for those on the front line.
