Disability Diversity & Inclusion Webinar Series
Hosted By
Accommodating Employees with Mental Health Impairments
APRIL 5 | 10:00 – 11:00 am (MST)
Presented by Melanie Whetzel, M.A., CBIS
Job accommodations can be vital for the successful employment of individuals with mental health impairments. Knowing how, when, and why it might be necessary to disclose a disability is the first and often most difficult part of the accommodation process.
This session will provide information on
- the disclosure of mental health impairments in the workplace,
- the limitations associated with these impairments,
- and the accommodations that might be needed.
Real-life accommodation situations and solutions will be interspersed throughout the session. A question-and-answer session will be included at the end.
$35.00 per registration
