FAQ

Provide your employer with a doctor's note that outlines your need for an accommodation. While this might not prevent the discrimination itself, it will put your employer on notice of your condition and help prove your case if discrimination does occur.

Medical records, along with corroborating testimony, can prove you have or had a disability. However, in cases where discrimination is based on a perceived disability, substantiating employer statements or nonverbal conduct regarding your mental or physical abilities becomes crucial.

How Does Systemic Oppression and Discrimination Impact People? A lack of availability of mental health services. Transportation issues, difficulty finding childcare/taking time off work. The belief that mental health treatment “doesn't work” The high level of mental health stigma in minority populations.

It is illegal for your employer to terminate you because you are disabled if you are able to perform the essential functions of your job. A disability under the ADA is a mental or physical impairment that substantially restricts a major life activity.

Mental health discrimination at work is where an individual, with a diagnosable mental health condition, is treated less favorably than other employees because of this disability. This discrimination can be either direct or indirect, intentional or unintentional.

Employment Anti-Discrimination Laws Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 501) are the federal laws that protect people with disabilities, including mental health disabilities, from discrimination at work.

When someone treats you in a negative way because of your mental illness, this is discrimination. Stigma happens when a person defines someone by their illness rather than who they are as an individual. For example, they might be labelled 'psychotic' rather than 'a person experiencing psychosis'.

Examples of mental health discrimination include mocking an employee for going to therapy or taking medication for their mental health; requiring someone to take a night shift even though their medication makes them excessively drowsy; or punishing a person for missing work due to their mental health.
