Purpose of reviewMental illnesses are among the most common diseases worldwide. Cases of inability to work caused by mental illness are frequent and the related economic burden is immense. A successful reintegration into their work environment of those patients who were on sick leave due to a mental illness is an important prognostic factor for the further course of the disease and helps reducing financial consequences. It was the aim of the present review to give an overview of the status quo of return-to-work interventions in the international literature. Recent findingsMain themes of interventions addressing return to work of persons with mental illnesses are the provision of psychotherapeutic support with or without combining these approaches with work directed interventions. Personal contact of employees, mental healthcare staff and supervisors may be helpful with regard to facilitating return to work.

“…Thus, a multi-faceted approach is required to streamline procedural differences and increase interaction, understanding and respect between sectors ( Mikkelsen et al, 2013 ; van Vooren et al, 2020 ). Resolutions to procedural differences include shared personnel or resources, written agreements and holding regularly scheduled meetings made possible by policies, programmes and fundings that enable cross-sector partnerships ( Ladekjær Larsen et al, 2020 ).…”

The study objective was to explore the experiences of parents of children (6–17 years) with complex mental healthcare needs in accessing healthcare services in Alberta, Canada. Parents were interviewed using a semi-structured guide with open-ended and probing questions. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis revealed three main themes: (1) Fragmented healthcare services profoundly impacted participants’ experience of mental health care due to (a) a lack of a collaborative approach across disciplines in the healthcare system; (b) unavailability of information related to mental health care and (c) a lack of patient-centred care. (2) Navigating the complex healthcare system was difficult due to fragmented services and was hindered by gaps in accessing and receiving care, lack of continuity of care and lack of resources. (3) Distressed parents discussed the emotional challenges, financial burdens, self-advocacy and stigma they experienced in navigating the system. Parents offered insights into potential solutions to these gaps. Parents recommended the creation of a one-stop shop service with a team approach led by a navigator to facilitate and support navigations across healthcare services that work collaboratively across disciplines among healthcare services and across sectors inclusive of social services, education, policing and community programmes.
