SUMMARY - Employment Support in Recovery
A woman returns to work after psychiatric hospitalization, uncertain whether she can handle the demands that overwhelmed her before, anxious about what colleagues know or assume, struggling to reconcile the capable professional she was with the person who could not get out of bed for weeks. A young man with schizophrenia wants to work but cannot imagine how to explain the gaps in his resume, how to manage symptoms while performing job duties, how to disclose or not disclose a condition that has defined his adult life.
