Description

"This videotape looks at the value and the difficulties of employment for people with psychiatric (invisible) disabilities. Through personal interviews with a remarkably diverse group of employers, job developers, and employees, the tape explores the process of achieving successful employment. A major task for those with mental illness is to regain a sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Invisible Workforce offers sensitive and practical information about barriers, accommodations and supervision for employers, mental health professionals, educators, consumers and family members. This tape is also valuable for job developers and placement coordinators meeting with perspective employers." -from the website
