Web Seminar Announcement: Preventing Relapse – Insights from Psychological Professionals on Rehabilitation and Counseling Practices

Advantage Risk Management Co., Ltd. will host a web seminar titled 'Preventing Relapse: Insights from Psychological Professionals on Rehabilitation and Counseling Practices' on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, for personnel and managers in HR, general affairs, and labor management departments, as well as those responsible for employee leave and return-to-work support.

In this seminar, psychological professionals will explain the recurring causes of relapse and key insights for relapse prevention observed in rehabilitation and counseling settings. We will share best practices for corporate return-to-work support, focusing on support systems that ensure long-term employee stability and practical approaches that promote behavioral change.

You may have a doctor’s note stating the employee is 'fit to return to work.' Commute training has been completed, and the employee appears ready to resume duties. Yet, why do relapses continue to occur?

Supporting return-to-work is not just about assessing whether an employee is 'ready to return.' What truly matters is creating conditions that allow employees to work stably and sustainably after their return.

Are you viewing relapse solely as the individual's issue? In reality, challenges often lie within the overall support system surrounding the return-to-work process—such as insufficient assessment of recovery status, lack of behavioral change aimed at relapse prevention, and inadequate post-return follow-up mechanisms.

This seminar will cover, from a practical standpoint:

• Typical patterns leading to relapse • The role and limitations of rehabilitation programs • The importance of behavioral change (based on cognitive-behavioral theory) • Follow-up systems that support long-term employee retention after return

Rather than treating pre-return and post-return phases separately, we will present return-to-work support as a continuous process—from leave to stable reintegration—clarifying what companies should aim for in effective support systems.
