This technical assistance guide is for anyone working with employers and organisations whose goal is to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against employees with mental health problems. It could also be used by employers as a self-development aid. It acts as a practical workbook. The Guide beings with an overview of the general principles and processes to be aware of when carrying out work with organisations. The process itself is then broken down into seven individual steps. The seven steps detailed are: engaging the employer; targeting discriminatory behaviours; developing policies; establishing benchmarks; designing benchmark evaluation; educating employees; and addressing problems. Each step is briefly described. For each step intended outcomes, guidelines for conducting the step and an illustrative case study example are provided.
