Short Online Questionnaire on Stigma in the Workplace

2.

Stigma in the Workplace has become a key problem to deal with when you are already dealing with your Mental Health issues.
We need more information directly from SADAG members about how Mental Health is approached in your Workplace and the postive or negative aspects you may have experienced in your office because of your illness. As well as how you have been able to overcome the stigma and get the support of staff and management. 

This Online Survey Monkey Questionnaire will take 5 minutes - please help us to understand your issues so we can help more patients and companies make Mental Health Matter. 

We will close the Survey on the 4th October, and will release the results on World Mental Health Day, 10th October.
