Read people's stories of their experience - positive and negative
- of managing their mental health problems at work.
I
think the barriers I faced were embedded in the heart of the
working culture. It just wasn't acceptable for managers or
Chief Executives to have problems such as mine.
Lionel's story
I
know many employers are fearful about taking on people with
mental illness. But it's important to put things into perspective.

Carole's story
My
experience has made me empathetic and understanding when it
comes to my colleagues. I've often been called on by superiors,
many of whom who don't have time for their staff, to deal
with personal problems at work.
Alison's story
One
of the biggest barriers is simply not being able to discuss
my problems. If I had been able to talk freely to my boss
then a lot of the fear about coping might have been reduced.
