Adjustment to Injury Counselling

AusMind > Adjustment to Injury Counselling

Supporting injured workers to adjust, cope and move forward

A workplace injury can affect much more than physical health. Changes to work, daily activities, independence, relationships and future plans can affect a person’s confidence, mood and overall wellbeing.

AusMind provides Adjustment to Injury Counselling to support workers who are experiencing difficulty coping with the emotional and practical impact of a work-related injury.

The focus is on helping workers develop practical coping strategies, strengthen confidence and identify achievable steps towards recovery and return-to-work goals.

When Adjustment to Injury Counselling may help

  • A worker may benefit from support when they are experiencing:
  • Difficulty adjusting to pain, injury or changes in physical capacity
  • Anxiety, low mood, frustration or increased emotional reactions
  • Reduced participation in usual activities or social connections
  • Loss of confidence or concerns about their ability to return to work
  • Difficulty adjusting to changes in their role, routine or circumstances
  • Feeling overwhelmed by treatment, rehabilitation or recovery
  • Concerns about returning to the workplace
  • Difficulty identifying or taking the next steps in their recovery
  • Stress associated with changes to work, family or daily life
 

How AusMind can support the worker

Sessions focus on the individual worker’s circumstances and may include:

  • Understanding the emotional impact of injury
  • Developing practical coping and self-management strategies
  • Managing anxiety, stress and changes in mood
  • Building confidence and motivation
  • Identifying barriers to recovery and return to work
  • Strengthening support networks and communication
  • Developing realistic recovery and return-to-work goals

The aim is to support the worker’s recovery, adjustment and participation in the rehabilitation and return-to-work process.
