Abstract: |
Disclosing a mental health issue to an employer is still a dilemma for employees. Many people feel unsupported and stigmatised when they have disclosed a mental health conditions at work. People with experience of mental distress do recover, and although they may experience relapses from time-to-time, they can make enormous contributions to the workplace. This article argues that it is in the best interest of both employers and employees to recognise the need for a supportive environment where disclosure of mental health issues is not only accepted but welcomed. A number of simple ways for organisations to overcome stigma and encourage supportive return to work policies are suggested. |
