Hey folks:
Dr. Bob gave me the o.k. on this, so I wanted to announce and invite folks to a support email/newsgroup for Mental Health and Employment. Work and Mental Health is a very tough area for most of us, and this is a great on-line support group. It is well moderated and safe
Please come by, join, and even lurk for awhile!
Join by sending a blank message to:
work_mental_health-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Once subscribed, start posting to:
work_mental_health@yahoogroups.comHere is a brief description:
"Welcome to the 'Work and Mental Health' newsletter. The idea behind this is to discuss how people with mental illness, of any kind, deal with employment issues. Although this is an imformal group, and is mean't for support, and can't really answer all and every question, the idea is to rebuild morale in going back into the workforce while recovering from a mental illness.
It is also set up to dispell myths about mental illness and health, and that people with an illness and issues *can* lead a productive, happy, and financially secure life. This acknowledges, though, that there is still widespread myths, prejudice, and ignorance amongst employers in the value of working with and helping their employees through such illness. Everyone benefits from it.
As the old saying goes...the focus is on "Working to live...NOT living to work."Please feel free to keep your questions open to a wide nature, and don't be afraid to ask something. The messages are moderated, mainly to keep people feeling safe, and out of harm from harrasment, but also from spammers.
This email list will forever remain out of the hands of everybody accept the moderator, guaranteed.
I hope you find support and strength on this list.
Sincerely,
The Moderator"
I hope to see you/read on the list!
Thanks..
Jay
