DISABILITY

Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP®)
The PGAP® is the most researched standardized intervention

mental health conditions.
Through didactic presentation, video
demonstrations and case studies, attendees will:

risk factors for delayed recovery,
• Learn how to administer and interpret the
results of psychosocial screening evaluations.
• Learn numerous intervention techniques designed
to reduce psychosocial obstacles to rehabilitation progress.
Workshop topics include: 1)
Screening for psychosocial risk factors such as catastrophic thinking, fear of
symptom exacerbation, perceived injustice, disability beliefs: 2) Targeted
intervention techniques such as guided disclosure, validation, constructive
communication, anger reduction, distress reduction, motivational enhancement,
structured activity scheduling, risk-specific goal setting, progressive
exposure, and changing disability beliefs: 3) Occupational re-integration:
Engaging the involvement of relevant stakeholders including the physician, the
insurer and the employer to maximize successful return to work.
