Summary
This study tested two programs for people on sick leave due to burnout, adjustment disorder, or stress: one offering mental health care step-by-step, and another combining that with job support. Over 600 participants from four Danish municipalities took part. The goal was to see if these programs help people return to work faster and stay employed.
