At Human Kind, we understand the importance of providing therapy and support services for disabled employees who are in need of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Our team of licensed clinicians is dedicated to offering evidence-based interventions to help you during your time of need.

What is the Family Medical Leave Act?

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. These reasons include the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or dealing with a personal serious health condition.

Supporting Disabled Employees

For disabled employees who require FMLA leave, it is crucial to have access to therapy and support services to help navigate the challenges they may face. At Human Kind, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of disabled employees.

Evidence-Based Interventions

Our licensed clinicians are experienced in providing evidence-based interventions that have been proven effective in supporting individuals with disabilities. These interventions may include individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, depending on the specific needs of the employee.

Emotional Support

We understand that dealing with a disability can be emotionally challenging. Our clinicians are here to provide emotional support and help employees develop coping strategies to manage their emotions effectively. Whether it's anxiety, depression, or stress related to their disability, our therapists are trained to address these issues in a compassionate and understanding manner.

Licensed Mental Health Providers

In addition to emotional support, our clinicians can provide documentation of your mental health condition and need for leave if medically indicated. We can also assist in connecting employees with community resources that can further support their needs.
