Over the last decade all levels of government have adopted a disability management approach to stress injury. The purpose is financial: the belief is that you intervene aggressively by phone (no paper trail for the victim to pursue law suits) to pressure people back to work and also create the internal paper trail for dismissal. It is not "help", but harassment. Constant unrelenting harassment of people and sharing their most intimate information with others who don't believe such injuries.

The effect on people with serious stress injury? Suicide. Especially when you take away their work and any prospect of work in the future (dismissal from the Forces means a much lower chance of ever getting a job). This type of program is rampant in governments because HR departments are taught it in training now and HR has taken over management at all levels of government.

Until the courts start standing up for people's rights again or this is exposed by the media, the pattern will continue..
