Two-thirds of the more than 30 who attended the "life school" started at the health center are back at work full or at least part-time. The school is aimed at Norsjö residents who suffer from mental illness.

- Afterwards they got to appreciate their feeling and there we also see a clear upturn, says rehab coordinator Ulla Karlsson.

Stress, sleep, dietary exercise and relaxation exercises were on, among other things, on the schedule the eight hits.

The hits caused stress

But despite good results in the evaluation, it was difficult to get a new round. Employers demanded that those who would participate had received preventative sickness benefit in order to leave the job. And the hits themselves turned out to cause some stress.

- They got no substitutes. Participants experienced the stress of working before or after the meetings. We had to do something about this and collaborate with the employers, says Ulla Karlsson.

Jeanette Berggren is now one of the participants in a new group. You can see why in the clip even though she is not on sick leave.
