Workplace Mental Health: Options as an Employee

Welcome to the “Options as an Employee” video lesson meant to help workers understand how to handle their mental health diagnosis in the workplace. This lesson is the third of five in the “Expert Insights: Workplace Mental Health with Michael Wellington” video course created to shed light on how to manage mental health in the workplace as an employee. Throughout this lesson, learners will consider their two options when it comes to addressing their mental health challenges: keep it to themselves or share their diagnosis with their employer. Viewers will then learn tips for approaching their boss with that information and the advantages to being open about their mental health condition. Finally, this lesson describes potential benefits an employer may offer to support those living with mental illness.
