Psychological illnesses, disorders, strains, or injuries such as those listed below can, depending on the severity of the situation, decrease or even debilitate an employee’s capacity to perform optimally and to remain productive:
- Significant stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health strain and injury, which may have resulted from challenges at home or at work, abuse, bullying, discrimination, violence, critical incident, or feeling psychologically unsafe.
- Cognitive functioning impairment or deterioration due to stroke, heart attack, brain injury, aging, or other medical conditions.
- Difficulty adjusting to major life changes such as marital break-up, death of a spouse, major illness, job loss, or others.
- Psychological illnesses or disorders such as bipolar, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic or personality disorders, or other disorders.
As such, making early, adequate, and appropriate intervention/support readily accessible by employees who may be experiencing mental health difficulties is essential to their ability to remain resilient, productive, and well.
Some employees may also have complex, co-morbid, high trauma, severe mental health issues, or other specialized care needs. Such conditions can bring about severe and prolonged difficulties in a person’s home, social, and work life. Basic short term mental health support though one’s EFAP may not be adequate to help these employees properly address their conditions or difficulties. As a result, their condition can continue to deteriorate in spite of the fact that they might have gotten help. In such cases, specialized therapy and/or alternative treatments by clinicians with advanced or specialized training in the specific areas of concern may be required to properly support the employees’ recovery.
Specialised counseling/therapy is geared towards helping employees or their family members with complex, co-morbid, high trauma, severe mental health issues, substance/alcohol/gaming/porn/sex dependency issues, or other specialized care needs.
Aside from being able to care for clients with different mental health issues, each therapist at Insight is also required to develop and advance their expertise in one or more areas of specialization. Areas of specialization include but not limited to:
