RETAIN Kentucky: Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury / Illness Network

RETAIN Kentucky is a federally-funded research study implemented by the University of Kentucky designed to expand services to help thousands of newly injured and ill employees across the Commonwealth stay in the workforce. This free program is open to individuals 18 and older who have non-occupational illnesses or injuries that prevent them from performing their jobs. Participants will get support to identify their stay-at-work and return-to-work goals and take steps to achieve those goals. All eligible, enrolled participants will have support to identify their stay-at-work and return-to-work goals and take steps to achieve those goals through the development of an individualized Return-to-Work Plan. All participants will also receive connections to community resources to help with day-to-day challenges and employment support. Participants will receive a $100 gift card after completing the intake interview. Those completing the study will receive an additional $50 gift card.
