Join The iRelaunch Return to Work Forum

The iRelaunch Return to Work Forum is iRelaunch's private group designed exclusively for relaunchers and moderated by one of our coaches to encourage your progress and keep discussions going. The virtual networking environment features a supportive group of more than 7,000 fellow relaunchers sharing their journeys - both the triumphs and the setbacks - in a supportive, judgement-free environment. This is the peer community that understands your challenges and frustrations and celebrates your wins and successes. It is also a good way to connect with other relaunchers in your area to form a local support group. Please note the Forum is limited to relaunchers only and you must answer the two questions AND agree to the rules in order to be admitted. Please be sure you scroll down to answer all questions and agree to the rules or you will not be admitted.
