Work Ability Support Services are intended for unemployed Helsinki residents aged 18-63 and for recipients of basic social assistance whose illness, defect or disability may hinder progress towards employment or education. Once we have received a referral, we will assess your work ability and functional capacity. You will be supported by social workers, work ability coordinators and public health nurses.
The service is free of charge.
To access Work Ability Support Services, you need either a referral or a professional assessment. The professional may be a social worker or social instructor at a Helsinki Health and Wellbeing Centre, whom you can contact, for example, by submitting an electronic contact request in the social welfare section of Maisa.
We support your work ability
- by helping you become more aware of your social and health situation and how it affects your work ability and functional capacity
- by supporting your work ability and functional capacity and motivating you to make changes
- by supporting your everyday life to improve your quality of life and participation
- by ensuring that you receive guidance that meets your needs so that your care and rehabilitation plans progress as intended.
