Return to Work & Work Retention

WHAT WE OFFER

We support organizations and employees in preparing, implementing, and monitoring a return to work following an absence related to psychological health.

Our clinical and functional approach, which may incorporate occupational therapy expertise depending on the needs of the mandate, aims to reconcile the individual’s capacities, job demands, and workplace realities in order to support a gradual and appropriate return.
