Mental crisis - ways back to work
For the 9th time, on Monday, March 13 between 6 and 8 p.m. in the "Pfalzkeller" St.Gallen, professional organizations and employers are committed to the integration of people with performance limitations.
Several organizations of people with disabilities will address the topic of mental crisis - ways back to work on Monday, March 13, 2017 at the Forum in the Pfalzkeller in St.Gallen. According to Prof. Dr.med. Wolfram Kawohl, Chief Physician and Head of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Psychiatric Services Aargau - he is present at the forum - it is possible to continue working despite mental illness in many more cases than previously thought. The field of application can be changed to create a better fit between employee and workplace.
Mental crisis: what to do?
There is uncertainty all around. The person concerned is afraid of losing his or her job, the supervisor is afraid of bringing up a sensitive topic, the therapist is afraid of violating confidentiality. The IV is often wrongly perceived as an adversary instead of a partner. A conversation can go wrong - but usually does not. But if you don't talk and the employee really has a problem, it will go wrong in any case.
How have employees with a mental illness managed to return to work together with their employer? Practical examples with participants present, together with expert advice and experiences from the audience, show the ways of return. The panel of experts consists of job coaching, psychiatry, occupational integration IV, law and insurance.
