With appropriate accommodation, employees with mental illness can better manage their symptoms, and they can be productive and contribute to the success of the organization. But accommodation may be more than just reducing the number of hours worked. It may require modified duties that allow the employee to work within their abilities and limitations.

In this session, participants will learn about:
- How the duty to accommodate applies to employee mental health
