À propos de cet audio

The stigma of mental illness is reflected in Regina, a social worker who contends with her own mental illness diagnosis and its implications for working in the field. Having been let go from a few jobs, she raises the ethical dilemma of disclosure: the pathologizing impact vs. the potential for accomodations.

Regina shares her personal experience navigating her BiPolar II disorder and calls to action the need for societal awareness and social work advocacy.
