Is there an elephant in your office? A quarter of the US adult population, 64.6 million people, live with a mental health disorder. But, shhhh, we don’t talk about that at work — until now.
Ashley Sides Johnson, co-author, of “There’s an Elephant in Your Office, 2nd Edition: Practical Tips to Successfully Identify and Support Mental and Emotional Health in the Workplace” uses a simple metaphor to explain the complexities of mental illness in the workplace and share helpful knowledge designed to equip employers, managers, and supervisors with the tools and information they need to help people in the workplace notice, identify, and properly interact with the elephants in their office.
Come join us for a discussion with Ashley focused on:
- Mental health and the ADA – who qualifies, what’s the process and required documentation and examples of reasonable accommodations for employees with psychiatric disabilities
- Manager training – what you can and can’t say to employees related to mental health, make managers more confident in having these important conversations
- Intersectionality of mental health and disabilities a must for DEI initiatives
