Managing the
Psychologically Injured Worker
Holiday Inn
- Gold Coast
Thurs 14th, Fri 15th
& Sat
16th of August 2008
A joint initiative of Faculty from Bond
University, Griffith University and the Gold Coast Integrated Mental Health
Service and Queensland Health.
Streams:
•
Psychological injuries in the workforce: Categories and Causes
(trauma at work, stress, bullying, harassment, anxiety and depression)
• Implementing effective clinical treatments: Primary interventions and
treatments promoting recovery.
• Strategies for workplace re-entry: Programs and approaches.
• Preventing psychological injuries in the workplace: Proactive
interventions and mental health worker self-care.
Fuelled by a rapidly growing and developing economy there is increasing
competition for meaningful employment and striving towards attaining and
maintaining a meaningful, affluent lifestyle.
Pressures of modern life have increased the emphasis on status, income,
professional development and the struggle to balance these pressures with
those of family, leisure activities and the pursuit of other interests.
Ever increasing societal pressures at the contextual, environmental,
socio-emotional and performance levels often leave workers physically and
emotionally vulnerable.
Moreover, there increasingly appear to be problems with inter-personal
communication in the workplace due to enforced interaction in with
individuals whose agendas and sometimes difficult personalities promote
discord and disharmony.
We all work for a large proportion of our adult lives and it is within the
context of work that we are likely to suffer psychological injuries.
What are the causes of these injuries?
What types of psychological injuries are most common and how are they
manifested and identified, treated and managed?
What systems are in place for initial interventions and treatment to
recovery?
How should re-integration into the workforce be best conducted? What
treatments are most efficacious, for whom, and when?
What clinical skills and medications are efficacious?
How can mental health care workers work more effectively with each other,
insurance companies, doctors, employers and agencies?
Themes will be explored through plenary sessions, with international and
national experts as keynote speakers, workshops, and individual
presentations.
The conference will include:
• Pre-conference workshops
• Plenary sessions with keynote presenters
• Workshops
• Individual paper presentations
• A stream designed for doctors and psychiatrists
• Poster presentations
• Professional development points available
This will be achieved through conference workshops and keynote
presentations.
We extend a warm invitation to attend the
conference and look forward to seeing you. Copies of the programs of the
eight previous
conferences are available here and demonstrate the high quality that the
Annual Mental Health Conference has attained.
Please join with us in what promises to be our most Successful Conference
yet!
