mental health task/job analysis

Just like assessing the physical demand of a role, a Mental Health Task Analysis assesses the cognitive or mental health demands of a role for an individual. The benefit is an understanding of suitable work options and a clear path forward.

Ideally conducted in the workplace, our occupational therapist in mental health will work together with the individual to:

• consider the diagnosis, treatment and impact on function using a semi-structured interview
• apply mental health assessment tools to assess work demands and impact
• communicate with the treating medical team (where authorised by the individual).

A comprehensive report outlines:

• the requirements of the role and the individual’s current capacity and abilities
• recommendations on possible treatment options.
