A Guide to Your Rights
Mental Health Reform (MHR) are pleased to present this guide to help people with mental health difficulties to understand and access their rights in the workplace. The guide was co-produced and led by people with lived experience of mental health difficulties.
An important aim of this guide is to help make changes in understanding, attitudes and unfair behaviour to people with mental health difficulties in the workplace. People with mental health difficulties meet more barriers in their lives than many other people. These barriers often stop them from accessing their rights, especially in the workplace.
This guide is funded through the IHREC Grand Fund, and we would like to extend our thanks to IHREC. We would also like to acknowledge the lived experience Steering Committee of the guide, and the author of the guide Barbara Brennan.
