Navigating Employee Mental Health Issues
Presentation Description:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, addiction, bipolar disorder … Nearly one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

- How to spot potential mental health issues in the workplace;
- What information to obtain once an employee discloses a psychiatric disability;
- Your employer’s legal obligations under the FMLA and ADA;
- How to address work performance deficiencies when an employee has a mental health issue;
- Guidance for your supervisors; and
- Preventative measures to strengthen your company’s ability to address employee mental health issues.
