Do you find your customers with psychiatric disabilities difficult to keep engaged in the employment process? Do you find stigma still impacts employers' perceptions about job seekers with psychiatric disabilities in your community? Do you find yourself struggling on how much and when (if at all) to disclose to a potential employer? These issues and others are somewhat unique to working with job seekers with psychiatric disabilities. Sell yourself, your expertise, and your success stories to employers to neutralize stigma and improve your placement results, retention levels, job seeker satisfaction and work place integration.

What do you know about psychiatric disabilities? How do mental health issues impact your customers and your employees? What is stigma and how do we overcome it? These basics will provide you with information, resources and skills in recognizing and dealing with mental health issues.
