Our Vocational Rehabilitation training is relevant to a wide variety of professionals involved in rehabilitation of individuals back into the workplace.  Our training supports and maximises the benefit of the rehabilitation process, leading to more rapid return to work, improved funtioning at work and increased self-confidence and enjoyment within the work environment.

We also offer condition management training which focuses on helping professionals to effectively support people with both physical and mental health problems and maximise their ability to function both at work and at home.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is highly effective for improving outcomes for a wide variety of physical and mental health issues which commonly affect the working population. It has been proven to have effective vocational outcomes.  Our training introduces busy rehabilitation professionals to a simple, effective method of applying CBT as a brief intervention within their routine, day-to-day working patterns. It can be used to support and maximise effectiveness of rehabilitation of clients in a variety of ways:
