Mental Health
Disability Management assists managers/supervisors and applicants and employees with mental health disabilities in the interactive process to explore and implement effective accommodations.
Mental health disabilities often have stigma attached inside and outside of the workplace. It is difficult to assist and accommodate what cannot be seen. However, accommodations must be considered without judgement, just as with physical disabilities. Please contact a Disability Management coordinator for assistance and support in providing these accommodations.
Examples of Mental Health Accommodations
- Flexible workplace
- Leave
- More frequent breaks
- Removal of distractions
- Private Space
- Staff diversity trainings
- Reduced hours
- Reduced noise
- Organization software
- Adjustment in supervisory methods
- Matching learning/communication method
- Emotional support animal
