I had to take a break from work right now. (Example: medical, childcare, FMLA, Short-Term Disability leave, Workers Comp, parental leave)
Lean On Community: Life happens. Know that you are not alone.
Action Items:
- If you’re still employed, be sure to connect with Human Resources. Is there an Employee Assistance Program you can access or other supports?
- Talk with your Service Coordinator (SC) about Benefits Counseling. A Certified Benefits Counselor may be able to support you in understanding your options right now.
- Visit PHW's Community Connect to see what resources are in your area. Ask your Service Coordinator about other supports and services.
