Stand Up For Mental Health:
Fighting the Stigma At Work

According to statistics, 1 in 5 people will have a mental health issue at some point in their life. Mental disability now accounts for 30-40% of workplace disability claims. And people often don’t go for the help they need until it’s too late.

Why? Because they’re ashamed to admit to having mental health issues and afraid of public stigma. So they try to tough it out. But as their mental health deteriorates, so does their work and their relationships with colleagues.

The end result? Problems that could have been dealt with up front end up costing millions of dollars in disability claims and lost productivity.

In this seminar your people will learn:

• About the challenges people with mental illness face at work.
  
• How people with mental illness can exceed expectations when given the proper support.
  
• How to support people with mental illness in the workplace.
• How talking about and accepting mental illness is the key to allowing people to function at their full potential.

This seminar will be customized to meet the client’s needs and can also include presentations from Stand Up For Mental Health participants

Here’s what one client had to say:

It was so great to to see the work you do teaching comedy to people with mental illness. What you do is truly amazing! I would love to bring your program to San Diego. I think it would be a huge benefit for our clients!
