Details
While Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable laws originated with both physical and psychiatric disabilities in mind, employers tend to focus more on the physical disabilities. According to a 2013 study by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an estimated 61.5 million Americans have experienced a mental health impairment in a given year. That number, if anything, continues to rise. This webinar will discuss the employment rights of persons with psychiatric disabilities and conversely the employer’s responsibilities toward those employees under the ADA and other applicable laws, with emphasis on workplace accommodations and discuss issues that arise including, without limitation:
· How the broadened definition of disability under the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) affects individuals with psychiatric disabilities
· When is a person with a psychiatric disability is “qualified” for a job?
· Common workplace issues involving persons with psychiatric disabilities;
· Applicable case examples;
· When does an employee’s psychiatric issues(s) raise safety issues how does the concept of “direct threat” apply?

Learning Objectives:
· Learn how the ADA/ADAAA and other applicable laws defines and addresses psychiatric disabilities;
· Understand extent and limits of an employer’s obligation to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with psychiatric issues;
· Learn and understand which practices can give rise to a discrimination claim under applicable federal laws;
· Understand when undue hardship and direct threat are a viable defense to a claim of failure to accommodate;
· Learn how to balance your obligations to provide reasonable accommodations to the employee and the accommodation to provide a safe workplace for co-workers, customers and the public.
Why Should You Attend?
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, including those with mental impairments, that substantially limit their major life activities–unless the accommodation causes an undue hardship on the employer; or the employee poses a direct threat either to his safety or the safety of others. But what does all that really mean? When interacting with employees with psychiatric conditions, which fears and concerns are valid? How should employers address these concerns, especially in light of the increase in and devastating damage caused by incidents of workplace violence? How do you know when someone has a psychiatric illness or is just plain strange? And, when someone does have a psychiatric illness, what are your obligations? Not knowing the answers to these questions could guarantee you legal trouble. By becoming aware of your responsibilities you can take your first steps toward preventing tragedy, ensuring a productive, engaged workforce and safe workplace, and that you are protected against legal liability.
