Description
OVERVIEW
The principles prohibiting discrimination in the workplace under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable laws originated with both physical and psychiatric disabilities in mind. However, employers tend to focus more on physical disabilities. According to a 2013 study by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an estimated 61.5 million Americans have experienced mental health impairment in a given year. That number, if anything, continues to rise.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Mental illness in the workplace: trends and statistics
  • Applicable Laws (ADA, rehabilitation act, executive orders, among others)
  • Potential Legal Issues: discrimination, disparate treatment, disparate impact
  • Workplace safety/violence issues

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
How often have we thought of a mass shooting at a workplace or other work-related catastrophes thinking we knew or should have seen it coming? Of course, that's easier said than done. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to the qualified individuals with disabilities, including those with mental impairments, who substantially limit their major life activities unless the accommodation causes an undue hardship on the employer or the employee poses a direct threat either to his safety or the safety of others. So, what does all that mean? When interacting with employees with psychiatric conditions, what fears and concerns are valid? How should employers address these concerns, especially in light of the increase in and devastating damage caused by incidents of workplace violence?
