Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)
Injured workers can face many challenges after they’ve been seriously hurt at work. Indeed, dealing with a big organization like the WSIB can produce many challenges of its own.
But for the individual injured worker, there can be many personal issues. For someone who has always been able to rely on physical strength, your injury may now limit what you can do physically at work and at home. It might mean leaving a type of work that you really liked and which paid you pretty well. You might have to live with chronic pain each day and night. Your family might be under very real financial stress. You might feel like your family is falling apart due to the new pressures and changes. Your accident might have been very traumatic and memories of it still trouble you.
The staff of the Cambridge Psychology Centre have years of experience in dealing with injured workers and the WSIB. We specialize in helping people deal with the changes they are experiencing since their injury and work with them as they rebuild their lives. Most injured workers arrive thinking they would have never believed they would see a psychologist, but they find the support, understanding, and helpful strategies for managing their pain, stress, and sadness a surprising benefit.
