Occupational rehabilitation is the science and practice of returning injured workers to a level of work activity appropriate to their functional and cognitive capacity, both of which are affected by the severity of worker injury.

- The role of occupational occupational therapists is to facilitate the ability of individuals to return to work. Occupational therapists assist their clients in reaching their maximum level of functionality in order to meet the physical and emotional demands of their work. Occupational therapists are also eligible to make recommendations to employers on how to reduce job demands to meet the functional status of employees to prevent further injuries during job rehabilitation. Evaluation of individual functional capacity is used to filter people-environment fit. Occupational occupational therapists use a collaborative approach involving workers and employers to encourage a supportive work environment that empowers workers to achieve productivity and other work-related goals. Occupational occupational interventions in occupational rehabilitation include assertiveness development; communication and interpersonal skills; controlling anger; and stress management.

For general mental disorder
Many workers have an increased risk of developing general mental disorders (CMDs) in the workplace because of work stress such as job insecurity, bullying or psychological abuse, low social support at work, employee perceptions of workplace justice, and an imbalance between job demands and rewards. These CMDs may include anxiety disorders, alcohol dependence, addiction-related disorders, suicidal ideation, and depression
Approach
The symptoms of CMD are to have irregular and worsening habits. Therefore, during occupational rehabilitation, occupational therapists and/or other rehabilitation professionals often use stratified environments, deliberately removing barriers to improving individual performance and self-esteem. The integrative approach, based on the three main disciplines of medicine, public health, and psychology, is being used by occupational therapists to reduce work stress and improve employee psychological well-being with CMD. The purpose of integrative approaches is to prevent further damage to employees and learn how to manage the disease through the promotion of health, work psychology, positive psychology management, psychiatry, and occupational medicine.
The cognitive occupational hardening program administered by occupational therapists using Canada's Client-Centered Enrichment Enrichment (CMCE) model improves the re-employment of depressed employees. Hardening of cognitive work combines meaningful work or assigned work assignments to fit individual needs in a supportive environment to enhance self-esteem. Cognitive work hardening programs are individualized to promote interpersonal communication and coping skills in real-life work settings.
The Stimulating Healthy Participation and Relapse Prevention (SHARP) approach is used for individuals with CMD who experience a lot of absenteeism from the workplace. The SHARP approach includes five steps including: a list of positive and negative situations encountered in the workplace; solutions to negative situations or problems; support requirements for solutions; plan how to implement the solution; and implementation evaluation
