Mental Health Consulting After an Accident

A car accident or work injury affects more than your body. Many people have trouble sleeping, feel anxious in the car or are stressed about work and money. ProCare includes mental health consulting in your recovery so this part is not left out.

In short

  • Stress, poor sleep and anxiety are common after a crash or injury.
  • We talk with you about how the injury affects your daily life and mood.
  • When needed, we refer you to a licensed mental health professional.
  • Emotional recovery can make physical recovery easier.
  • If you are in crisis, call or text 988 right away.

Why it matters

Pain, time off work, insurance calls and fear of driving can all add up. These reactions are normal, and they can slow down your physical recovery if they are not addressed.

During your visits we ask how you are sleeping and coping. If stress, anxiety or low mood is getting in the way, we discuss options with you and can refer you to a licensed mental health professional.

Signs you may want support

  • Trouble sleeping since the accident
  • Fear or anxiety when driving or riding in a car
  • Flashbacks or constant thoughts about the crash
  • Irritability or low mood
  • Stress about work, bills or the claim
