Abstract
In recent years, workers’ career autonomy has become a social requirement, and many studies have shown
the effectiveness of career support. However, career-based environmental adjustment is not a prerequisite for
returning to work for workers on leave due to mental health problems. In addition, the components of the return-to-work support program（re-work program）indicated by the Depression Rework Association do not include the development of career support. This study introduces a case in which career support was provided to a person on leave participating in a re-work program, and examines the effectiveness of providing career support with in the framework of the rework program. The client in this case took stock of his past work style and skills through the transition of his leave of absence, and by concretizing the tasks suitable for him, he was able to launch a new business that met the needs of the company and the workers after returning to work. This case study shows the effectiveness of career support in rework programs.
