I desperately need to take stress leave from work. The problem is that I pay all of the bills. Are there any programs that will help financially, even just temporarily, while I work on my mental health?
It’s depends on where you live I think. I know In southern Ontario my ex has been off almost a month, his work and his doctor both decided it was what was best for him. Hopefully this helps alittle!
Maybe if you can get your doctor to say that you can’t work right now you could apply for short term disability. It’s not your whole paycheck if approved, like 60 or 80%. And your doctor would have to fill out forms for it then they would have to go over it and see if you are approved. Or fmla if you can get your doctor to say you have a serious illness and again apply for short term disability.
Depends where you live. We have short term and long term disability for that
Well here in Canada, you can take a stress leave break with pay depending who you work for. Just need a doctor’s note. I would talk to your boss if possible, let them know how you’re feeling.
Another option in Canada is EI sickness benefits. That covers temporary leave for stress with a doctors note.
