This National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR) initiative aims to support individuals who have acquired a physical or mental health impairment and their employers in the return-to-work journey.

Which employers can access the program?

Employers seeking practical solutions for an accommodation for a disabled employee to return to work.

Where can the program be accessed?

The pilot program will initially be offered in Prince George, Vancouver, Kelowna, and Nanaimo.

What can employers expect from the program?

Once your employee is confirmed as eligible, they will receive ongoing return-to-work support, which may include:

  • Health treatments,
  • On-the-job aids or adaptations,
  • Assistive technology,
  • Training and education,
  • And many more creative and practical solutions.
