Workplace Rehabilitation Collaboration - Reykjanesbær
The philosophy of Co-operation is to work towards a holistic solution by addressing participants' barriers in an individualized manner. The participant is an active participant in their own rehabilitation from the beginning, as they actively contribute to the creation of their rehabilitation plan. Rehabilitation takes place mostly in a group setting, e.g., through courses, education, group activities, and physical training, but also in an individualized manner that addresses the needs of each person, for example, through consultations or training with professionals, work trials, or on-the-job training.
