Date and time: August 27th, 2020 from 2-4 pm EDT

Host: Policy and Practice in Return to Work after a work injury: Challenging Circumstances and Innovative Solutions research program, University of Ottawa

Description: When returning to work, what are some of the ‘invisible’ barriers faced by employees who were absent from work due to a mental health problem? How can workplaces overcome these barriers to support return to work of employees dealing with mental health problems? What strategies can workplaces adopt to facilitate this process?
