Information for Union Representatives | OWCP Behavioral Health
OWCP Behavioral Health Services for
Federal Employee Unions
Federal Injury Behavioral Health supports federal employees experiencing work-related psychological symptoms by providing structured psychological services aligned with OWCP requirements.
Our role is clinical. We do not provide legal advice or represent employees in OWCP proceedings.
Understanding Psychological Claims Under OWCP
Psychological injuries under OWCP are handled differently than general mental health treatment.
OWCP cases require:
-
Clear diagnostic language
-
Consistent clinical documentation
-
Focus on functional and occupational impact
How Our OWCP Focus Works
Our OWCP focus operates through a team-based clinical model.
Federal employees accepted into services are:
-
Assigned to a licensed clinician trained in OWCP documentation standards
-
Supported through structured clinical processes
-
Provided continuity of care independent of any single provider
What Unions Should Know

Services are limited to federal employees with work-related psychological injuries
-
Intake review is required prior to acceptance
-
