What's your experience with work coaches?

I often felt like the system was set up for those who already understand it, not for people like me who were just trying to survive and make sense of everything. Sometimes, I was unsure of what was expected of me, and even when I explained that I had appointments related to my asylum claim or health issues, the requirements didn’t really change or adapt to accommodate that.
