VT RETAIN

Preventing work disability and supporting the health and work ability of people who live or work in Vermont. 

“RETAIN” stands for Retaining Employment After Injury/Illness Network. At VT RETAIN, we provide support to people who live or work in Vermont and are at risk of work disability to reduce or eliminate the number of days that person is out of work after an injury or illness. We believe that working is a health outcome and that staying at work positively affects that person, their family and community circles.

Find out if you’re eligible with our screening survey.

About RETAIN

Research shows that there is a brief window of opportunity to help an individual with a work-limiting injury or illness to remain in the workforce. Once that window closes, the likelihood of an individual remaining employed is low. When an illness or injury forces a worker to exit the labor force, the loss negatively affects the health and well-being of that worker, as well as their family, employer, and the larger community. Statistics show that unemployment can increase the risk of serious mental and physical health conditions.
