You don’t need a WorkSafeBC claim to call us for help.
If you believe you have a mental health injury from an event and it is preventing you from being able to work or affecting your ability to work and live a normal life, you may need to file a WorkSafeBC Claim.
Teleclaim is available 24/7. Inform your supervisor that you are filing a workplace claim.
Ask for immediate support from the Critical Care team if you are experiencing heightened symptoms. This will assist in getting you a counsellor quicker.
Step 1: REPORT THE INJURY TO YOUR EMPLOYER- just like a physical injury that happens on the job, you need to report a mental health injury to your employer.
Step 2: SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN: many physicians now receive training to help with mental health injuries or refer you to specialized treatment. Make sure to tell your physician that you believe the injury is work-related.
STEP 3: REPORT TO WCB: report the injury to WorkSafeBC by calling 1-888-WORKERS (1-888-967-5377) or visiting www.worksafebc.com/en/claims
Starting a claim does not mean you are automatically off work. This will be dependent on a case-by-case basis. Be sure to keep your employer up to date with the status of your claim and any changes.
You can decide if you would like to have the assistance of a Worker Representative to help with advocacy and support for confidential support and assistance.
