Returning to work

Returning to work does not mean that you are completely healed and that you can stop your treatment.

When you are ready to return to work, you might return on a gradual basis. The purpose is to allow a smooth transition back into your job function while continuing to participate actively in your treatment plan. Psychological support from a therapist, and your family, friends and colleagues, along with regular medical follow-ups and a healthy lifestyle are all part of the recovery process.

Use this Returning to work guide to learn about some steps you can take when returning to the workplace.
