Despite the fact that over 60% of U.S. adults live with a chronic illness and/or disability, currently, only 3.2% of people disclose this to their employer. When it comes to advocating for their needs in the workplace, many have struggled to find the courage to disclose and ask for the support they need.

In this chat, we’ll talk about:
