2024-06-26 13:00 - 14:00 | Virginia
Sponsored by ReEmployAbility: Join us for an enlightening webinar on the crucial role of advocating for behavioral health in worker’s compensation claims, with a focus on integrating behavioral health into return-to-work (RTW) programs.

Learn actionable strategies to educate stakeholders, including Nurse Case Managers, and leverage employer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) or other networks and resources to support injured worker mental health when treatment is needed. Discover available community resources and the importance of counseling and other interventions as part of behavioral health support. We’ll address common misconceptions, such as believing that providing behavioral health support will ‘create mental health claims’ or that all behavioral support requires a diagnosis that is compensable, and emphasize the importance of proactive communication with injured workers and their families. Together, let’s move beyond talk and take concrete steps toward promoting behavioral health advocacy and proactive care in worker’s compensation claims.

The workers’ compensation ecosystem has many stakeholders. Their incentives often, but don’t always, align. This can complicate how they service the two most important stakeholders … the employer and injured employee. When these various stakeholders create silos with different priorities, it can lead to suboptimal outcomes. The course will explore the potentially conflicting priorities of the stakeholders and how they must come together in partnership to achieve the ultimate outcome – recovery and return to work. In part two, learn how the Stakeholders work together to provide the Injured Workers treatment, support, and assistance during their recovery. This will be a continuation of the first discussion with actionable takeaways that can be used to change the way professionals interact with stakeholders on a file.
