I think the difference between Valcartier and other areas is that there's an occupational therapist doing return to work and there isn't at any of the other facilities.
In answer to your question about what the occupational therapist would do that is different from anybody else, we look at what people actually need to do for their job. We don't only look at a specific symptom or a specific life circumstance; we look at the individual's abilities around a particular job, or any job. We look at those skills and abilities, we look at the environment in which they work, and, if necessary, we can modify the environment to make it fit better with the person. So we're really focusing in on the activity.
I guess the best way is to suggest thinking about your own specific job and then something else gets in the way. It's no good to say to you that now you have a mental health illness it's going to be tricky. Rather, it's what are the specifics of the mental health illness that would make it difficult for you to perform the duties that you need to do every day. We would then identify how we can work on those specific skills, or if we know that those skills are not available to that person anymore, then how we can adapt the job itself.
It's a very much more focused, practical approach to what an individual needs to do.
