Work-focused social support
A good treatment program is not just about reducing symptoms. It is also about creating the best possible conditions for a secure and sustainable return to work with support from specialized social workers.
Returning to work often requires more than just treatment
For many people, the goal of treatment is more than just fewer symptoms.
The goal is also to return to work in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and takes into account your health, professional life, and future opportunities.
At Hemi, work-focused social support is an integrated part of the treatment. Our social workers help translate clinical progress into a concrete plan for returning to work, ensuring that the patient, employer, and insurance company are all working toward the same goal.
Who can benefit from this support?
Work-focused social support can be relevant for people who:
Are on full or partial sick leave
Need support to return to work
Are uncertain about your work capacity or workload
Need a gradual return-to-work plan
Need advice on workplace accommodations
Need support in the dialogue with your employer, insurance company, or local authority
Need help creating a sustainable daily routine at work
Why companies and insurance providers choose Hemi
At Hemi, companies and insurance providers receive a specialized, interdisciplinary intervention focused on the patient's function and work capacity.
Interdisciplinary assessment
The work-oriented intervention is based on the comprehensive assessment of relevant specialists.
Focus on work capacity
We work purposefully to develop function and work capacity, not just to reduce symptoms.
One unified plan
Patient, employer, and insurance company work from the same plan and the same goals.
Specialized target group
Extensive experience with migraine, headache, concussion, whiplash, and other complex pain conditions.
Focus on work capacity rather than sick leave
Being on sick leave is rarely a goal in itself.
The goal is to create the best possible conditions for the patient to utilize their professional potential in a way that is realistic and sustainable.
Therefore, our social workers focus on possibilities rather than limitations, helping the patient gradually rebuild their work capacity.

Part of a comprehensive treatment plan
At Hemi, our social workers work closely with physiotherapists, pain therapists, neuropsychologists, nurses, and neurologists.
This means that recommendations for returning to work are based on the overall health assessment rather than a single professional perspective.
The goal is one shared plan where treatment, work life, and workload support each other.

Collaboration with employers and insurance companies
The work-oriented social intervention often includes dialogue with employers, insurance companies, and other relevant partners.
We provide a health-professionally grounded assessment of functional capacity, work ability, and relevant accommodations, as well as advice on a realistic plan for returning to work.
The goal is to create a shared basis for decision-making that supports both the patient's health and a sustainable return to working life.

Kind words from our clients
Patient experiences speak louder than words – here they share their stories.
"It was a huge help that I could get an appointment within the same week and didn't need a referral. All in all, my experience with Hemi was absolutely fantastic, and my meeting with the specialist was both very personal and professional."
“I was in safe hands with specialists who truly understood my situation. The digital solution meant that help was always within reach.”
“Receiving treatment online has worked surprisingly well. It has been absolutely optimal to be able to sit at home and thereby avoid both waiting time and driving back and forth. Especially on those days when my head feels heavy.”
"In just a few months, my quality of life has improved significantly. Through my conversations with the headache nurse, I have become much more aware of my own thought patterns and the fear I have of the next migraine attack."
