Mental Illness in the Workplace

'A much needed, eminently accessible text focussed. This book provides employers and others with practical management strategies to prevent and manage mental illness at work.' -- Nicholas Buys, Griffith University, Australia 'Mental Illness in the Workplace defines common psychological health conditions and broadens the reader's understanding of how mental health conditions impact the workplace. It explores current evidence, diagnostic challenges and treatment complexities. The authors articulate and present solid and well-thought-out solutions for prevention and management.' -- Liz R. Scott, Principal/CEO of Organizational Solutions, Canada 'The book provides richly detailed information on how to deal with challenges of mental health in the workplace. Bringing expertise together is crucial in order to improve labor market participation by one of the most disadvantaged, heavily stigmatized and generally ignored social groups.' -- Thomas Geisen, University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, Switzerland 'This text provides a useful overview of mental illness, its impact on individuals, society and the workforce. The practical strategies outlined will not only benefit workers with existing mental illness, but all workers and employers via the creation of healthier workplaces.' -- Christine Randall, Griffith University, Australia
