What workers’ compensation leaders are saying

Director of Vocational Rehabilitation and Long Term Disability, Workers’ Compensation Board

“What interests us is getting people the right support they need early to ultimately reduce the emotional toll an injury can have and prevent needless permanent disability. I think Starling’s program helps normalize emotional responses and gives people confidence in working through it.”
