Dear Dr. Grohol:
I am also pleased that you bring this topic to educate the public. I think that the Mental Health Systems in the U.S. should educate themselves in this regard. Trust me or not: the worst work place discriminations toward mental health clients are done to those who are employed at the work sites at the MH systems. The practices of funding Vocational Rehabilitation Service Programs at the county or state levels, and then hiring the mentally ill individuals through these programs so that the County or State MH programs only need to pay maybe half of the wages that they usually have to pay to their regular unionized employees. The best practice model of work place discriminations must have originated at these programs, uh?! The way that these MH systems intentionally marginize and tokenize their own service targets, and use the numbers of the clients to claim money from the tax payer are totally disgusting and disgraceful, I believe. Well, and the public should also see how the system bash the whistle blowers with when they discover that you are one!!!
