Return to Work Interventions is the subject of a featured session at this year's Campbell Colloquium, scheduled for Tuesday, May 19th at 13.15. "What helps chronically ill and disabled people return to work?" is highly relevant for social work practitioners and is also an opportunity to build bridges between the worlds of research and policy. We note also that Campbell recently established a Subgroup on Disability.
