Mutual Ventures and Peak Health Coaching co-hosted a half-day online conference Exploring How Health Coaching Can Support Healthy Working Lives for practitioners providing employment support to people experiencing ill-health.

Participants were predominantly front-line practitioners, including employment advisers, work and health coaches, and service managers.
