Addressing and Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder in the Workplace

 
Find out what to do with your SAD employees. 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. General information on mental health impairments will be provided, as well as more specific information on seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Real-life accommodation situations and solutions will be interspersed throughout the material. A question and answer session will be included at the end.
