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:
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.
Types of specialized interventions and support that Insight can offer employees include:
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:
Our therapists can provide appropriate clinical assessments, counselling/therapy other supports that your employees may need to deal with the mental health, relational, developmental, personal, and/or other issues that are negatively affecting their ability to function or interact with others at home or at work.
Our therapists use evidence-based treatment modalities and are supervised or guided by some of the leading experts and/or very seasoned specialists in the field. Our therapists also work with other medical colleagues and specialists, where appropriate, to provide the impacted employees with the multi-disciplinary support they may need to deal with their concerns in a holistic manner.

We have supported many organizations that are experiencing concerns, conflicts, and dysfunctions among their employees. Key examples of difficulties that we have worked with include:
For cases such as these, we will work with the management team as well as impacted employees to: 1) identify and address the key roots of concerns, 2) work through the psychological impact of the situation, 3) work on recovery, and 4) explore strategies to prevent or mitigate similar challenges in the future. It should be noted, however, that positive change can only occur when there is genuine willingness and commitment by the organizational leaders to make the necessary corrective actions to impart change and for the impacted employees to buy in and participate in the corrective actions to impart change. Whenever possible, employees should be included in the decision making, development, and execution of corrective actions.
We can provide group counselling or support sessions for employees experiencing difficulties associated with specific mental health concerns, substance dependency, major life changes, or grief and loss.

If an employee has sustained any of the following, they may experience some degree of cognitive impairment or deterioration:
There could be a noticeable weakening of their concentration and attention, memory, learning and retention, self-regulation, speech and language, information processing speed, reasoning, planning, problem-solving speed and/or decision-making ability. Aging individuals, even without any brain injury or medical condition can also experience cognitive deterioration where a slowdown in cognitive function is noticeable.
Such impairment or deterioration can in turn affect one’s ability to work, communicate, maintain relationships, and/or carry out daily tasks that were once routine. When an employee experiences some of these challenges, their mental health may also be affected. They may feel worried and frustrated with their decreased ability to do some of the things that they could previously do with ease, they may feel more anxious or shame and embarrassment, become less confident in their abilities, tire faster, or they may feel depressed and isolated with the change in their abilities. As such, initiating cognitive rehabilitation as well as mental health care as soon as possible is essential in facilitating the employee’s recovery process.
In consultation with their medical care givers and using state-of-art perceptual-cognitive equipment and tools, we can help your employee to assess, re-train and re-build, as much as possible, their cognitive and functional abilities. In addition, we will help them to deal with the mental health and relational impact of their impairment. Ultimately, we aim to help your employee/member regain a noticeable degree of their cognitive functions and their independence.

A critical and traumatic incident can include death or near death of an employee, violent incident at work, major work-related accident, or other traumatic occurrences. Such incident can be a rare one-time occurrence that employees do not typically encounter in their work or it can be repeated occurrences that employees may encounter in their work (e.g. emergency room nurses encountering patients who are very severely injured). Aside from work-related, critical incidents can involve one’s athletic/artistic/social team or club, school, community, or other entities.
Individuals who witnessed, endured, are made aware of, or even vicariously became aware of a critical incident can experience shock, trauma, distress, fear, anxiety, grief, loss, loss of control over their environment, or other psychological and/or physical difficulties. Prompt critical/traumatic incident care is needed to help employees deal with the strong psychological impact from the incident.
Our trauma and critical incident response team is made up of experienced trauma-informed psychologists, trauma specialists, and critical incident response specialists who can provide the following services on or off the worksite:

Insight can provide mental health issue or case consult to management personnel tasked with monitoring and managing employee concerns and cases involving substance-use concerns and/or mental health strain, injury, illness or leave.

When an employee is currently on leave or have requested to go on leave or have difficulty working due to mental health strain/injury and mental illness or substance/alcohol dependency, there is a need to ensure that they get the support and accommodation they need to successfully return to work and/or remain at work.
In many cases, an employee who is on leave due to medical issues or accidents also experience cognitive and mental health difficulties that require support and accommodation in order that they can successfully return to work and remain at work.
Insight’s therapists can provide a fit-to-remain-working or readiness-to-return-to-work assessments to determine:
Our therapists can also provide one-on-one therapy and support to the employee in dealing with their mental health injury, psychological effects, and/or cognitive impairment so that they can be more ready and able to return to work. For employees with difficulty attending face-to-face therapy sessions, sessions can be facilitated through our secured online counselling (real-time, secured video conferencing).
If an employee is off on mental health leave, completing a proper RTW assessment as well as ensuring proper support and accommodation at the early stage of the employee’s time off work can likely help to improve their situation and reduce the duration and/or frequency of time off from work.
Once an employee has returned to work from being on leave due to mental health strain/injury and mental illness or substance/alcohol dependency, it does not necessary mean that they have fully recovered and their issues are resolved. In most cases, continued counselling and/or treatment is needed not only to ensure progress in recovery and rebuilding but also to prevent relapse or deterioration. Our therapists and addictions specialists can provide the care and support the employee recovery journey.
