Workers like you at SACU and OSH have served highly acute populations while being chronically understaffed and regularly exposed to unsafe conditions and trauma on the job for far too long.

Yet access to mental health services to help us heal after experiencing trauma goes through the workers’ compensation system and highly burdensome. Because of this, it is extremely underutilized due to the continuing concerns around workers' compensation accessibility. 

SB606 changes the burden of proof, so instead of workers having to prove the PTSI we acquired came from trauma at work, it is presumed to have come because of a traumatic experience on the job.

What is the Mangement-Labor Advisory Committee? 

The MLAC, established by the Oregon Legislature in 1990, aims to reform and improve the workers' compensation system by providing a platform for collaborative discussions and problem-solving between management and labor.
