Register now for this webinar to learn how you can better support a client’s recovery by facilitating their continued participation in, and return to, work in a way that improves their health and wellbeing. Strategies will also be provided to help successfully engage with workplaces to support return to work.
The panel will discuss the case study of a person who is experiencing high levels of stress both in and outside of work, much of which is due to the past and ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. See all the learning outcomes.
