Mental Health problems are the second of the two most important health risks affecting Occupational ill health and sickness absence. To effectively deal with this health risk Duradiamond Healthcare can provide ready access to Psychologists and Counsellors. Psychologists and/or Counsellors can provide expertise in and direct prevention/control at three levels: - Primary prevention, addressing organisation issues such as areas where there is high demand/low control. This is likely to form part of Respect for People strategies and the main specialists with expertise in this area are Organisational Psychologists
- Secondary prevention or education, for example stress management or management of change training. Depending on its nature training can be delivered by a variety of specialists including Occupational Health Advisors (nurses).
- Tertiary prevention or “treatment” by both counsellors and clinical psychologists. Referrals have most value either whilst an employee is at work or early on in an absence.
