Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP®)
PGAP® is currently considered one of the most empirically supported standardized interventions for targeting psychosocial risk factors. PGAP® is a behavioral life-role re-integration return to work program that targets and reduces psychosocial factors such as Catastrophic Thinking, Perceived Injustice, Fear Avoidance and Disability Beliefs. The PGAP® intervention is for occupational and non-occupational disability. *PGAP® was developed at the Centre for Research on Pain and Disability at McGill University.
The Empatha Program includes The Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP®), standardized physical therapy program focused on measuring functional improvement and work capacity and Motivation and Action Planning (MAP™).
The team at Empatha have produced positive outcomes with major insurance carriers and employers such as:
Claims 3-12 months old
76% RTW (High risk clients identified with Catastrophic Thinking, Perceived Injustice, Fear Avoidance and Disability Beliefs)
68% of cases had a significant reduction in psychosocial risk factors
87% Patient Satisfaction
“Return to work is a stated objective of PGAP® and the techniques contained within PGAP® are intended to maximize the probability that work resumption is achieved.”
- Dr. Michael Sullivan
