Psychology Treatment Services
Providing necessary psychological assistance

Occasionally there may be times when it is necessary to assess individuals with the aim of providing targeted treatment.
AWS is able to conduct objective Psychological Assessments to diagnose potentially damaging disorders and symptoms
and provide tailored treatment to minimise the impact of these on the employees' capacity to perform.

• Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
  AWS can assist your organisation with the development and implementation of an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  The EAP provides confidential and professional assistance for employees, and to other persons whose care is the responsibility
  of the employee, who are experiencing difficulties of a personal or work-related nature.
  The EAP provides assistance for issues such as:
  - difficulties in relationships with work colleagues
  - coping with organisational change
  - mediation
  - harassment
  - stress with work
  - career issues
  - alcohol and substance misuse
  - relationships and family issues
  - emotional stress
  - concerns about children
  - financial and legal problems
  - grief and bereavement
  - health and lifestyle issues
  - trauma and critical incidents
  - coaching and mentoring for managers and supervisors

• Psychological Assessments and Services
  Occasionally there may be times when it is necessary to assess individuals with the aim of providing targeted treatment.
  AWS Psychologists are able to conduct objective Psychological Assessments to diagnose potentially damaging disorders and
  symptoms, and provide tailored treatment to minimise the impact of these on the employees' capacity to perform.

• Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) & Trauma Counselling
  Incidents in the workplace left untreated, can cause detrimental effects on your employees. When an incident occurs in the
  workplace it is important that the person or persons involved, are provided debriefing and counselling assistance, to help them
  cope with and eventually overcome the potential symptoms of traumatic stress. An AWS CISD session and Trauma Counselling
  can help reduce the impact. Leaving situations unresolved can cause significant damage, particularly in the form of stress claims.

• Pain Management
  Pain is something that can take an injured employee’s focus off return to work and active work. AWS is able to assist employees
  with an injury (permanent or temporary) in learning the skills necessary to manage the pain and to help them get on with life and work.

• Anger Management
  Angry employees are dangerous employees - to themselves and others. The average person is mostly able to control their anger,
  however there are some people who have difficulty with anger. A lack of awareness of how to manage and control the situations can contribute to their anger. Anger Management Counselling is designed to educate employees to both control their anger, and also
  deal more effectively with those who are identified as agitated.

• Adjustment to Disability
  Employees who sustain a permanent and disabling injury go through an adjustment process. Adjustment to the ‘change’ is important
  as it is likely the disability has altered their pre-learned way of life. AWS Psychologists are able to provide assistance and support to employees who have sustained a permanent and disabling injury to help them adjust to the change.

• General Counselling
  For an employee to be productive at work they need to be able to focus on the task at hand and when an issue starts to take away
  the focus, then their capacity to perform at work is significantly reduced. Providing access to AWS General Counselling Services
  (either through an EAP or otherwise), can help reduce the impact the issue has on an employee’s performance. Types of issues
  that can be dealt with in AWS General Counselling include anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship issues, grief
  and conflict resolution.
