Current Training Opportunities
This in-depth workshop for mental health challenges emphasizes current evidenced based research and practice, objective assessment tools; uses clinical case studies, video, small group discussion and clinical reasoning activities.
Occupational Therapists are unique as the only health care professional that brings the whole person approach. Whether you are conducting a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE), Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE), worksite assessment or developing gradual return-to-work/stay-at-work programming, the whole person integrated approach is key for successful safe and sustainable return-to-work and stay at work.
Mental health is affected when individuals sustain a physical injury, chronic health condition, brain injury, or experience ongoing stress or traumatic events.
Research tells us that psychosocial factors are more important than physical factors in determining return-to-work. Learn more about the MAC Workshops or register online today!
