Reasonable Adjustments or the biggest systemic failure in modern day Mental Health
The lack of awareness and understanding of what exactly 'reasonable adjustments' entails, is very concerning.
We need to address the ineffective implementation of 'reasonable adjustments' withing the workforce or it will have a huge impact on people with a psychosocial disability (mental illness), particularly a thriving peer workforce.
I believe this has the potential to be the biggest systemic failure in modern day mental health with regards to rights of people with a psychosocial disability (mental illness).
