Recover Program for Injured Workers Overview
Do you struggle with mental illness and find it difficult to perform daily activities, such as self-care, work, and leisure? Are you motivated to recover and return to work? If so, the Lifeworks OT Recover Program is here to help.
The Lifeworks OT Recover Program is a community-based program that provides mental health rehabilitation and recovery through regular contact with an occupational therapist. Our therapists are trained in cognitive-behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, and have extensive experience in mental health.
The program begins with an assessment to determine how your illness is impacting your function and identify barriers to recovery. We then work with you to set goals and develop a rehabilitation plan to overcome these barriers and achieve your goals. Treatment is provided within your home or in the community, so that you can apply your newly acquired skills to your usual environment.
Through the Lifeworks OT Recover Program, you will develop the skills and level of functioning required to return to work, as long as you are motivated to do so and willing to engage in therapy. The occupational therapist will provide a structured rehabilitation plan with a specified number of sessions, and the costs will be agreed upon prior to commencement, based on the Workcover WA Occupational Therapy gazetted fees.
The best time to refer to the Recover Program is when you are having difficulty functioning at home, work, or in the community due to the effects of mental illness. This may include a reduced interest in self-care, isolating oneself, sleeping poorly, struggling with organization, difficulty concentrating on tasks, or a loss of motivation to do previously enjoyed activities. Early intervention generally leads to better outcomes.
Don’t let mental illness hold you back any longer. Contact us today to learn more about the Lifeworks OT Recover Program and how we can help you on your road to recovery. You can reach us via phone, email, fax, or our website.

Recover Program Process
The Lifeworks OT Recover Program is a comprehensive mental health recovery program designed to help injured workers on workers compensation. The program consists of several key steps, including:
- Initial Assessment: The first step is to complete an initial assessment to determine the impact of a client’s mental illness on their daily functioning and identify any barriers to recovery.
- Setting Goals: Working with the client, the occupational therapist will set achievable goals that will guide the intervention and help direct the rehabilitation plan.
- Rehabilitation Plan: Based on the assessment and goals, the occupational therapist will develop a personalized rehabilitation plan that takes into account the client’s needs and circumstances.
- Treatment: The occupational therapist will provide treatment that is tailored to each client’s needs and designed to help them overcome barriers and achieve their goals. Treatment can take place in the client’s home or community to ensure that skills are transferable to the client’s everyday environment.
- Review and Adjustment: The occupational therapist will regularly review the client’s progress to ensure that they are making effective progress and make any necessary adjustments to the rehabilitation plan.
- Return to Work: The program is designed to help clients return to work if they are motivated and willing to engage in the rehabilitation process.
All occupational therapists working within the Lifeworks OT Recover Program have extensive experience in mental health and training in various therapies to provide the best possible care for clients.
