Employers are seeing more mental health issues at work than ever, and long COVID has added to the concern. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in five adults has a mental illness each year, yet only one in three seeks help.
This two-hour webinar explains how the ADA, HIPAA, the FMLA and state human and civil rights agencies govern how you handle employees with mental health conditions, and where civil rights liability can arise. Privacy rules make it hard to judge how serious a situation is or whether someone poses a danger, though people with mental illness are no more likely to be violent than others.
You'll cover common conditions, warning signs, myths, the groups most at risk, and what managers can do to prevent and respond.
Common conditions include major depression and dysthymia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia and personality disorders. People with depression face 2.5 times the risk of on-the-job injury, workplace depression accounts for 200 million lost days a year, and employers lose an estimated $52 billion annually in productivity and insurance costs. The EEOC has issued guidance on mental health discrimination under the ADA.
The session suits executives, directors, managers, supervisors, HR, risk management, OSHA professionals and occupational health nurses.
