Activity coaching is a reactivation program to help a worker:

• Increase their quality of life.
• Resume activities that once gave their life a sense of meaning and purpose.
• Recover from an injury or illness.
• Return to work.

Activity coaches use the Progressive Goal Attainment Program (PGAP®) to help an individual regain control of their life and increase participation in daily activities.

Activity coaches:

• Meet in person or over the phone.
• Meet weekly for an hour for up to 10 weeks.
• Work with the individual on their personal goals.
• Help the individual transition back to work and/or return to meaningful activities.

Workers may benefit from this service when they:

• Have a longer than expected recovery time (more than 4 weeks after work injury).
• Have not improved with early interventions.
• Are not working or not working usual hours.
• Their schedule allows enough time to participate.
