Thank you for completing the MH Safe survey assessing how your organization addresses workplace mental illness discrimination across seven dimensions:
- Making Adjustments and Reasonable Accommodations
- Resource Referrals
- Responding to Challenging Behaviors
- Talking About Mental Health in General Conversation
- Avoiding Illegal Inquiries About Disabilities
- Responding to Offensive Comments
- Preventing Disparate Treatment
The accordion tab below shares several mental health anti-stigma resources that may be helpful for you going forward. As a thank you for filling out the survey, we also offer all participants the opportunity to have a fifteen minute call to discuss your specific results and more tailored mental health safety resources. If you would like to schedule that call, please reply to Dan’s e-mail that shared this page and we can set up a time.

MH Safe provides free Speak Up workshops to teach people living with mental health problems how to express their needs, seek reasonable accommodations, and respond to discrimination.
