Webinar:
Reasonable Accommodations in Employment Help You Succeed on the Job

Share:

Many people with mental health disabilities don’t know they have a right to request reasonable accommodations to help them accomplish and succeed on the job. Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits disability-based discrimination in employment. It requires employers to provide reasonable supports we might need to help us perform our work. Learn about the reasonable accommodation process, specific examples of accommodations and how they can benefit you.

*This training is presented from a peer perspective by people who have lived experience with mental health disabilities.

Live Caption and ASL Interpreter will be Available.
